Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Samuel Johnson NPG 1445

© National Portrait Gallery, London

reduced copy after Sir Joshua Reynolds

From early childhood, Johnson suffered from poor eyesight, especially in his left eye, which interfered with his education. There were somewhat contradictory reports about his eyesight from his contemporaries. He appeared to have been near-sighted, yet he did not use eyeglasses. His eyesight became worse with age; still, his handwriting remained quite legible, perhaps out of habit of writing.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
