EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of New Year's Day in Scotland, showcasing the beloved tradition of "First Footing". Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print takes us back to a time when celebrations were filled with humor and anticipation. As the clock strikes twelve, defeat is left behind and hope rebounds. The effect is palpable as we witness the collision of tartan-clad figures eagerly awaiting their victory. Snow drifts around them, adding an air of tranquility and repose to this animated scene. In traditional dress, these spirited Scots brave the elements for cups of kindness exchanged among friends and neighbors. Each step taken on this special day holds significance as they embark on a journey symbolizing luck and prosperity for the year ahead. The image transports us to a simpler time when whisky's sake was shared freely amidst laughter and merriment. Kilts swish through the snow-covered landscape while gled birds soar above, witnessing this timeless Scottish tradition unfold. With its rich detail and vibrant energy, this engraving from Bridgeman Images encapsulates both the joyous spirit of New Year's Day festivities in Scotland and our fascination with history. It serves as a reminder that some traditions withstand time's passage while continuing to bring people together in celebration.
