Samuel Johnson Portrait Print

Samuel Johnson NPG D34873

by James Heath, published by Charles Dilly, after Sir Joshua Reynolds

This engraving was created in 1791 for the frontispiece of James Boswell's Life of Johnson. It is based on the famous portrait painted by Sir Joshua reynolds in 1756 just after the publication of Johnson's Dictionary. Johnson requested that some alterations should be made to the original plate of the engraving so that he appeared older and wiser than in the earlier painting.
