Printmaker James Caulfield (1764-1826) spent much of his career
publishing illustrated books about 'remarkable persons'. He began
his first series around 1788 and continued it sporadically from
1790 to 1795, with books on a similar theme continuing to appear in
the first decades of the nineteenth century. More than forty years
after his death, this collection of biographies (produced in
collaboration with Henry Wilson (fl. 1820-30)) was republished in
1869. The edition's introduction explains that the renewed interest
in these characters comes from the fact that 'we have nearly lost
all, and are daily losing what little remains of, our
individuality'. The vignettes, accompanied by engravings of each
individual, describe a wide-ranging group - from the man who died
aged 152 to a 'remarkable glutton' to a woman who lived on the
smell of flowers - their only common factor being that they were in
some way 'wonderful'.
