Thomas Carlyle Portrait Print

Thomas Carlyle NPG P123

by Julia Margaret Cameron

The idea that learning about the lives of the famous could make us feel good about ourselves and our history, was taken up in an extraordinary way by the British historian Thomas Carlyle. He was also fascinated by faces and believed that a portrait was worth half a dozen biographies. Carlyle imagined that people would be uplifted by spending time in the company of the 'greats'. This Victorian ideal was behind the establishment of the National Portrait Gallery.
