About the Item
This intriguing engraving captures the enigmatic figure of Thomas Cooke, the notorious Islington miser. The portrait showcases his unique sense of fashion, with every detail meticulously etched by an anonymous 19th-century English artist. Thomas Cooke is depicted walking with a stooped posture, clutching a walking stick for support as he takes a leisurely stroll through the streets of Islington. His clothing reflects his eccentricity; layers upon layers of tattered garments adorn his frail frame, hinting at his reputation for extreme frugality. The engraving offers a glimpse into the life of this infamous character who became synonymous with penny-pinching and hoarding wealth. Despite being known as a miser, there is an air of mystery surrounding him
Lithograph after a stipple engraving by R. Page from Henry Wilson and James Caulfields Book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs and Anecdotes, of Remarkable and Eccentric Persons in all ages and countries, John Camden Hotten, Piccadilly, London, 1869
