EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by George John Pinwell, we are transported to the bustling streets of a great, cold, and wicked city. The central figure is none other than Oliver Goldsmith himself, the renowned English writer and poet. As he wanders through the poverty-stricken streets, we can sense his deep contemplation about life and society. Pinwell's illustration was created for Dalziels Illustrated Goldsmith, a publication that brought Goldsmith's literary works to life with vivid pictures. This particular image captures the essence of Goldsmith's writing - an exploration of human nature in all its complexities. The artist skillfully portrays the harsh realities faced by those living in London during this time period. The dilapidated buildings and destitute figures serve as a stark reminder of the social inequalities prevalent in society. Goldsmith's presence amidst this urban landscape symbolizes his own personal journey through life as well as his observations on humanity. It is through these experiences that he gained inspiration for his influential works of English literature. This digitally cleaned print allows us to appreciate Pinwell's intricate details even more clearly. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we cannot help but reflect on our own place within society and ponder how we can contribute towards creating a more just world.
