EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Frontispiece to Hobbess Leviathan, 1651" is a remarkable piece of art that captures the essence of Thomas Hobbes' influential work. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the frontispiece illustration for Longer Works by Henry Morley. The image depicts a powerful and awe-inspiring creature known as Leviathan emerging from turbulent waves. With its massive body and ferocious expression, it symbolizes the immense power and authority of the Commonwealth during that era. The intricate details in this engraving bring every element to life - from the swirling waters surrounding Leviathan to its sharp claws ready to strike. Hobbes' groundbreaking book, "Leviathan" explored political philosophy during a time when England was undergoing significant social changes. This frontispiece perfectly encapsulates his ideas on absolute sovereignty and social contract theory. It serves as a visual representation of Hobbes' belief in strong central authority as essential for maintaining order within society. Preserved in private collection today, this print continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Its inclusion in Henry Morley's publication further solidifies its importance as an iconic representation of English literature from that period. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this masterpiece through their careful preservation and presentation. As we admire this engraving, we are reminded not only of Thomas Hobbes' profound influence but also how art can beautifully convey complex
