EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving captures the distinguished figure of William Forbes, 6th Baronet (1735 - 1806), a prominent Scottish banker and philanthropist. With his gaze turned away from the viewer, Forbes exudes an air of quiet confidence and authority. His grey hair and balding head speak to his maturity and experience in the world of finance, while the medal pinned to his chest hints at his accomplishments and contributions to society. As one of the founders of the Union Bank of Scotland, Forbes played a key role in shaping Scotland's banking industry. The artist has expertly captured Forbes' likeness in this portrait, showcasing his formal attire and dignified demeanor. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable, from the intricate patterns on Forbes' coat to the subtle shading that brings depth and dimension to his face. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Forbes' legacy as a generous benefactor who dedicated himself to improving the lives of others. His inclusion in "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" by Thomas Thomson further solidifies his place in Scottish history as a man worthy of admiration and respect. This print serves as a timeless tribute to William Forbes, immortalizing him for future generations to appreciate and admire.
