EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of John Kelsey" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of a most extraordinary individual. The subject of this portrait is none other than John Kelsey himself, an enigmatic figure who embarked on an audacious mission during the reign of Charles II. Intriguingly, Kelsey set out on a journey to Constantinople with the noble intention of converting the grand signor to his religious beliefs. This print was originally published in November 1802 as part of the New Wonderful Museum and Extraordinary Magazine, capturing the imagination and curiosity of readers at that time. The artist from English School skillfully captures Kelsey's essence through intricate details etched onto paper. His facial expression reflects determination and conviction, hinting at his unwavering faith in his cause. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this striking portrayal. Now preserved within a private collection, this historical artifact offers us a window into an era when religion played a significant role in shaping individuals' lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded not only of John Kelsey's unique character but also how art can transport us across time and space to witness moments that have shaped our collective history.
