EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1876 depicts Benjamin Jonson, a renowned English poet and playwright of the 16th century, in a lively scene at the Devil Tavern. The interior of this historic establishment is filled with warmth and camaraderie as Jonson sits at a table with his friends, engrossed in conversation and laughter. In this Renaissance setting, surrounded by fellow intellectuals and artists, Jonson's creative spirit thrives. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of the era, showcasing intricate details such as wooden beams, an old-fashioned bar counter adorned with steins of ale, and flickering candlelight illuminating their animated faces. As they raise their cups to toast friendship and artistic inspiration, one can almost hear the clinking sound echoing through time. Jonson himself appears confident yet contemplative; his gaze fixed on something beyond our view. Perhaps he is pondering his next masterpiece or engaging in spirited debate about literature or politics. His presence exudes both intellectuality and charisma. This print transports us back to a vibrant moment in history when England was experiencing its cultural renaissance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later we can still find inspiration in the company of like-minded individuals who share our passions for artistry and intellectual pursuits.
