EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates the first issue of The Tatler, published on November 12, 1709. Founded by Richard Steele and featuring major contributions from Joseph Addison, The Tatler was a groundbreaking literary and cultural publication of its time. The Tatler was a weekly periodical, known for its witty and satirical commentary on London society, manners, and morals. It was one of the first successful examples of the essay form in English literature, and its influence extended far beyond the boundaries of the city. Addison, a renowned writer and intellectual, brought his unique perspective and eloquence to the pages of The Tatler. His essays, which covered a wide range of topics from literature and politics to philosophy and ethics, were widely read and admired. Steele, an experienced journalist and playwright, provided the editorial direction and oversaw the overall production of the publication. The Tatler's success paved the way for the even more influential The Spectator, which succeeded it in 1711. The Spectator, also edited by Steele and featuring contributions from Addison, became one of the most popular and enduring literary achievements of the 18th century. This print, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the English press and the enduring influence of two of its most celebrated figures. The Tatler's legacy continues to resonate in the world of literature and journalism, inspiring generations of writers and readers alike.
