EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Major from London Types" takes us back to the year 1898, capturing a moment in time when society was vastly different. The image, a colour lithograph published by William Heinemann, showcases the remarkable talent of artist William Nicholson. In this artwork, we see a rotund and imposing figure - an obese soldier who exudes authority and power. Dressed in military attire with his kilt proudly displayed, he stands tall and confident. His sporran hangs prominently at his waist while spats adorn his feet, adding an air of sophistication to his appearance. The beggarstaff brothers have masterfully captured the essence of this highlander officer through their artistic vision. The attention to detail is evident as every fold in his uniform is meticulously depicted. As we delve deeper into the image, we are transported back to a time where such characters were revered for their strength and bravery. This portrait reminds us of the diversity that exists within our society; even those who may not fit societal norms can hold positions of importance. Preserved by Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, this piece serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It allows us to reflect on how perceptions have changed over time while appreciating the craftsmanship behind this timeless work of art.
