EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sheerness, Scott clapping his Nose to the Touch-holes of the Guns just fired" takes us back to the 19th century. The image captures a moment filled with both awe and humor. In this scene, we witness an Englishman named Scott engaging in a rather peculiar act. As cannons roar and smoke fills the air, Scott fearlessly presses his nose against the touch-holes of recently fired guns. His audacious gesture seems to defy logic and common sense. Perhaps he is testing his bravery or simply indulging in an eccentric display of courage. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity of the moment through intricate details and dramatic lighting. The sheer power of these cannons is palpable as they dominate the foreground, dwarfing Scott's figure. Yet, despite their imposing presence, it is clear that he remains undeterred by their thunderous blasts. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on September 17th, 1887 - a publication known for its illustrations and visual storytelling. It offers us a glimpse into history while also inviting us to ponder upon human curiosity and our capacity for daring acts. Through this artwork, we are reminded that sometimes it takes unconventional actions to challenge norms or push boundaries. Whether driven by bravery or sheer folly, Scott's boldness serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our endless quest for adventure.
