EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of Professor Fawcett, a prominent 19th-century British political economist, academic, and statesman. The image captures his dignified presence as he gazes into the distance with sightless eyes, highlighting his inspiring journey as a blind individual in a world dominated by visual perception. Despite his disability, Professor Fawcett's intellectual prowess shines through this portrait. His resolute expression reflects the determination that propelled him to become an influential figure in both academia and politics. As a member of the privy council and esteemed statesman, he played an instrumental role in shaping the United Kingdom's economic policies during his time. The photograph not only immortalizes Henry Fawcett but also serves as a poignant reminder of society's perception towards disabilities in the 19th century. It sheds light on how individuals like him overcame their physical infirmities to make significant contributions to their fields. Through this powerful image captured by an unknown English School photographer from that era, we are invited to reflect upon our own preconceived notions about ability and recognize that true greatness transcends physical limitations. This print is part of the private collection known as Look and Learn / Elgar Collection, preserving history while celebrating resilience and intellect embodied by Professor Henry Fawcett.
