EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century steel engraving transports us back to the lively atmosphere of the Mitre Tavern in London during the 18th century. The image features three prominent figures of that era: Oliver Goldsmith, James Boswell, and Samuel Johnson. These intellectual giants are seen engaged in deep conversation at a table within the tavern. Oliver Goldsmith, an Anglo-Irish writer known for his literary contributions, sits alongside his esteemed colleagues Boswell and Johnson. As they gather around a table adorned with drinks and trays carried by a diligent waitress, their animated discussion fills the air. The warmth emanating from the fireplace adds to the cozy ambiance of this historic establishment. The Mitre Tavern served as a hub for intellectuals and creatives alike during this time period. It was here that ideas were exchanged freely over pints of ale or glasses of wine. This particular gathering showcases not only their camaraderie but also their shared passion for literature and knowledge. Goldsmith's reputation as a poet is well-known, while Boswell is recognized as an attorney turned writer who would later become famous for his biography on Johnson himself. Speaking of whom, Samuel Johnson was an English author renowned as one of history's greatest men of letters. Through this exquisite print from Granger Art on Demand, we catch a glimpse into both the social scene at Mitre Tavern and these influential minds shaping literary history in 18th-century London.
