EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1902, capturing a glimpse of Johnson's Birthplace at Lichfield. This historic house holds great significance as it was the birthplace of British author and lexicographer Samuel Johnson, renowned for his monumental achievement in creating the first authoritative Dictionary of the English Language. Located at the corner of Market Street and Breadmarket Street in Lichfield, Staffordshire, this charming building stands as a testament to Dr. Samuel Johnson's legacy. The photograph showcases its elegant exterior, showcasing architectural elements from both the 18th century when Johnson was born, and the 20th century when this image was captured. The monochrome composition adds an air of timelessness to this scene, allowing us to envision how it might have appeared during Dr. Johnson's lifetime. As we gaze upon this snapshot from "The English Illustrated Magazine", Volume XXVII, April to September 1902 published by T. Fisher Unwin in London, we are transported back in time. It is fascinating to imagine young Samuel growing up within these walls that witnessed his intellectual pursuits and literary achievements unfold. This print serves as a poignant reminder of his significant contributions not only to literature but also to our understanding and appreciation of language itself. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images' collection curated by Thomas Fisher Unwin Ltd. , let us appreciate its historical value while honoring Dr. Samuel Johnson's enduring impact on English language and culture.
