EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic figure of Andrew Carnegie, featured on the cover of The King magazine on May 25th, 1901. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image showcases Carnegie's distinguished presence as a gentleman of his time. Andrew Carnegie was not only known for his successful business ventures but also for his philanthropic endeavors. In this portrait, he exudes confidence and sophistication while sporting a well-groomed beard and an elegant suit with a bowtie. His Edwardian style reflects the fashion trends of that era. The significance of this particular photograph lies in its historical context. At the time it was taken, Carnegie had just donated an astounding sum of two million pounds to establish free university education at four Scottish universities. This act exemplified his commitment to providing opportunities for higher learning and cemented him as a prominent figure in both American and Scottish society. Capturing Carnegie's essence as a magnate and businessman, this photograph serves as a visual testament to his immense influence during that period. It is not only a representation of one man's success but also symbolizes the power of philanthropy and its ability to shape communities positively. Displayed within private collections today, this image remains out of copyright, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance without any commercial implications attached.
