EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Robert Knox, a prominent English seaman and author from the 17th century. The line engraving, skillfully created by R. White in 1695, beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable individual. Knox's distinguished features are meticulously etched onto the print, revealing his wisdom and strength. The image is further enhanced by an inscription written by another notable figure of that era, Robert Hooke. These verses add depth to the portrait, shedding light on Knox's accomplishments and character traits that made him stand out among his contemporaries. The print itself exudes an air of elegance and sophistication typical of 18th-century engravings. The intricate details within the cartouche surrounding Knox's portrait serve as a testament to the craftsmanship involved in its creation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to witness two influential men who left their mark on English literature and exploration. Their contributions have undoubtedly shaped our understanding of seafaring adventures and enriched our literary heritage. This print serves as a reminder of the immense talent possessed by both Robert Knox and R. White – one through his words immortalized in verse, while the other through his artistic prowess captured forever on paper.
