EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Peter Anker, from Eidsvoll 1814" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the talented Norwegian School and published in 1914, this print showcases Peter Anker (1744-1832), an influential figure of his time. Anker's life was as diverse as it was remarkable. Not only was he a renowned artist and collector, but he also held the esteemed position of Governor General of Tranquebar in India from 1786 to 1808. This Danish-Norwegian colony played a crucial role in shaping Anker's experiences and perspectives. In this half-length portrait, we see Anker donning an elegant hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. His Scandinavian heritage is evident through his strong features and dignified expression. The engraving technique used for this artwork further enhances the depth and detail captured by the amateur artist responsible for its creation. As we admire this timeless piece from a private collection, it is important to note that it has gracefully passed into the public domain due to its age. Its historical significance lies not only in depicting Peter Anker himself but also in shedding light on colonial administration during that era. Ken Welsh's careful preservation of this lithograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved and the rich history it represents. Let us cherish such prints as they provide glimpses into our past while honoring those who have contributed significantly to society.
