EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Salomon Gessner, a multi-talented Swiss artist and poet who lived from 1730 to 1788. The image is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. Gessner's profile is depicted in this engraving with great attention to detail. His side view reveals a man of intellect and creativity. As an accomplished painter, graphic artist, government official, newspaper publisher, and poet, Gessner made significant contributions to various fields during the 18th century. The portrait exudes a sense of history as it transports us back to a time when artistry was intertwined with politics and literature. Gessner's occupation as both an artist and government official reflects his dedication to serving his country through multiple avenues. The print not only showcases Gessner's physical appearance but also serves as propaganda for his work. It highlights his achievements while subtly promoting him as an influential figure within Swiss society. Although the creator of this image remains unknown, their skillful execution allows us to appreciate the legacy left behind by Salomon Gessner. This print serves as a testament to his lasting impact on Swiss art and culture during the transition between the 18th and 19th centuries.
