EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of Johannes Meursius, a renowned Dutch classical scholar and antiquary from the 17th century. The photograph was taken in 1830 by an unknown creator and is part of the collection "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. Meursius, born in 1579, dedicated his life to the study of Greek literature and history. He held prestigious positions as a professor at Leiden University, where he taught Greek and history. His expertise in these subjects made him a respected figure in academic circles during his time. In this portrait, Meursius is depicted wearing traditional clothing of the era - a collar with intricate details that adds elegance to his attire. The engraving showcases his dignified appearance as he gazes confidently into the distance. The photograph not only serves as a visual representation of Meursius but also provides insight into the fashion trends prevalent during that period. It offers us a glimpse into the world of academia in 17th-century Netherlands and highlights Meursius' significant contributions to scholarship. This portrait reminds us of Meursius' lasting legacy as a historian, scholar, and educator who played an instrumental role in preserving ancient knowledge for future generations.
