EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Richard Grafton, an influential figure in the history of printing and publishing. Grafton, an English printer and historian, is shown here as the first printer of the Common Prayer, a significant religious text. The image showcases his importance in bringing this essential work to the masses. The 19th-century artwork beautifully captures Grafton's likeness and highlights his contribution to British literature. It was originally created for Henry Curwen's book "A History of Booksellers" published by Chatto and Windus around 1880. Grafton's legacy extends beyond his role as a printer; he was also recognized as a prominent bookseller during his time. His expertise in both fields made him a key figure in London's literary scene during the late 16th century. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the engraving while preserving its historical significance. It serves as a testament to Grafton's impact on print culture not only in England but also throughout Europe. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of how individuals like Richard Grafton shaped our understanding of literature and religion through their dedication to printing and publishing. Their contributions continue to influence our lives today, making them an integral part of British cultural heritage.
