Légende

Alexander Pope's Chair, 1862. '...one of the most interesting relics bequeathed to us by the literati of the last century...The chair of Alexander Pope was one of the most esteemed objects in the collection of the late Lord Braybrooke, of Audley End. In looking upon this illustration what a world of men and circumstances crowd about it! The ailing deformed boy-author of the "Pastorals," and the scarcely more than boy-author of the "Essay on Criticism," is in an instant before us, with the long array of friends won by his genius only to be lost, for the most part, by the pungency of his wit, the keenness of his satire, and the acerbity of his temper'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
