EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases four iconic figures from British history, each with their own remarkable story. The engraving, created by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, captures the essence of these historical personalities. Firstly, we have Henry Jenkins, a legendary Englishman who supposedly lived to be an astonishing 169 years old before his death in 1670. His longevity has become the stuff of folklore and continues to fascinate generations. Next is Jedediah Buxton, an English mental calculator renowned for his extraordinary mathematical abilities. His prodigious mind allowed him to perform complex calculations mentally without any aid—an impressive feat that earned him great admiration during his lifetime. Jane Shore takes her place among this intriguing group as the mistress of King Edward IV of England. Her scandalous affair with the king made her a prominent figure in medieval court politics and adds a touch of intrigue to this ensemble. Lastly, we encounter James Crichton, known as "the Admirable Crichton" a Scottish polymath whose brilliance spanned various fields including academics and swordsmanship. His exceptional intellect and skills gained him widespread acclaim during his short but impactful life. Together, these figures represent different aspects of British history—longevity, intellectual prowess, romantic entanglements, and multifaceted talent. This enchanting engraving serves as a visual testament to their enduring legacies and invites us to delve into their fascinating stories further.
