EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bishop Heber" transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of Reginald Heber, a prominent British clergyman and hymn-writer. The print showcases Bishop Heber in his episcopal robes, exuding an air of authority and grace. The image also offers a glimpse into Bishop Heber's personality through his distinctive handwriting. A facsimile of his signature accompanies the portrait, adding a personal touch to this historical artifact. Originally featured in Henry Coppee's book "The Classic and the Beautiful from the Literature of Three Thousand Years" in 1897, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity. Bishop Heber's significance as the Bishop of Calcutta is highlighted by his tenure in India during a time when it was known as Calcutta. His sudden death at just 42 years old adds an element of tragedy to his story. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of Bishop Heber's contributions to the Church of England but also his impact on Indian society. This engraving serves as a testament to both his legacy and the rich cultural tapestry that encompasses Asia and its people.
