EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hannah Cowley, an esteemed 18th-century English dramatist and poet. The engraving, created by Thomas Holloway in 1769, beautifully captures the essence of this talented writer. Mrs. Hannah Cowley (1743-1809) is depicted wearing a large bonnet adorned with ribbons and feathers, her hair styled in elegant ringlets cascading around her face. She dons a fichu over her dress, tied delicately with a ribbon. Known for her notable works such as "The Runaway" "Who's the Dupe?" "Albina" and "The Belle's Stratagem". Cowley was celebrated for her literary contributions during this era. Her portrait exudes grace and sophistication, reflecting the societal norms of the time. This enchanting image transports us back to the early 18th century in England, where Cowley made significant strides as a female writer in a predominantly male-dominated field. Her talent as an author and poetess resonates through history, leaving an indelible mark on British literature. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this engraving from the European Magazine published by John Sewell in 1789. Through their meticulous attention to detail, they have ensured that future generations can appreciate and admire the remarkable achievements of Hannah Cowley – a woman who defied societal expectations to become one of Britain's most renowned writers of her time.
