EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Captain Dalgetty at Ardenvohr" transports us to the rugged coast of Scotland in the 1640s. Illustrated by George Cruikshank, this print is based on a scene from Sir Walter Scott's historical novel, A Legend of Montrose. In the image, we see Captain Dugald Dalgetty, a comic character known for his soldiering skills and mercenary nature. He stands proudly on the rocky shoreline, donning a traditional Scottish kilt and suit of armor. His helmet rests atop his head as he gazes out towards the crashing waves. The coastal scene surrounding him is both majestic and treacherous. The jagged cliffs rise high above him while a hidden cave lurks in the background. It seems that Dalgetty has been dragged or hauled to this desolate spot against his will. This illustration captures the essence of Scottish history and tradition with its depiction of kilts and traditional dress. It also hints at adventure and danger as we wonder what fate awaits Captain Dalgetty in this remote location. Published in 1843 but first released in 1819, A Legend of Montrose takes readers on an enthralling journey through Scotland during a time of civil war. This print serves as a visual representation of one chapter within this epic tale. Overall, it is an evocative piece that invites us to delve into Scottish history while marveling at Cruikshank's artistic prowess
