EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Victorian tobacconist shop sign known as "Sandy". Standing tall at an impressive height of 213 cm, this polychrome wood sign with its iron bound base is a true testament to the artistry of the British School in the 19th century. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this sculpture. From the meticulously carved features of Sandy's face to his traditional Scottish tartan attire, this piece exudes authenticity and charm. The skillful use of color brings life to the wooden surface, creating a vibrant and eye-catching display. As we gaze upon Sandy, we are transported back in time to an era when tobacco shops were not only places for purchasing goods but also gathering spots for socializing and exchanging stories. This sign serves as a reminder of a bygone era when craftsmanship was highly valued and each creation told its own unique story. Now part of a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Sandy's creation and its historical significance. It serves as a tribute not only to Victorian-era tobacconists but also to Scottish culture with its depiction of traditional kilts and symbols associated with Scotland. Through this image captured by Christie's Images, we can admire the beauty and intricacy that lies within such sculptures while reflecting on their enduring appeal across generations.
