EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the formidable figure of Sam McDonald, a Scottish soldier and renowned strongman affectionately known as Big Sam. The portrait, expertly crafted by John Kay in the late 18th century, captures McDonald's imposing presence and larger-than-life persona. Dressed in his military uniform, Big Sam stands tall with an air of confidence that emanates from every line etched on the print. His towering stature is accentuated by his distinctive hat, adding to the contrast between his impressive physique and those around him. The artist skillfully portrays McDonald as a symbol of strength and power within the British army. As one gazes upon this image, it becomes evident that he was not merely a soldier but also a force to be reckoned with – a true giant among men. This engraving serves as both a historical record and an artistic homage to this remarkable individual. It offers us a glimpse into the world of soldiers during that era while simultaneously celebrating McDonald's unique qualities. Through this print, we are reminded of the diversity found within Britain's armed forces – individuals who come in all shapes and sizes yet stand united under one flag. It is an ode to their unwavering dedication and commitment to serving their country. In essence, this engraving immortalizes Big Sam's legacy as both a Scottish soldier and an extraordinary strongman whose impact extended far beyond his physical prowess.
