About this work

This print shows a man, Johnathan Battishill. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The details in the print are interesting because it was published by S. Harding in 1803, which suggests it was made for a specific purpose, like a book or magazine illustration. The print is a simple portrait, but it gives us a glimpse into the past. It's a window into what people looked like and how they dressed back then. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking at the work of the artist: Sullivan, Luke.
