"Blackie Son Ltd: A Journey Through Time and Portraits" Step into the world of Blackie Son Ltd, where history comes alive through captivating portraits. From Whitney Straight's daring Maserati maneuvering at the iconic Members Bridge turn in Brooklands, 1933, to the bustling pits before the exhilarating start of Le Mans 24-hour Race in 1937, these artworks transport us to moments frozen in time. But our journey doesn't stop there. Travel back even further as we witness Mary Queen of Scots compelled to sign her abdication within the walls of Lochleven Castle in 1567. Thomas Brown's masterful brushstrokes capture this pivotal event from Scottish history with remarkable detail and emotion. Lord Palmerston takes center stage next, his enigmatic presence captured by an unknown artist around 1850. The aura surrounding this influential figure is palpable as we delve into a portrait that has stood the test of time. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy emerges from another era, circa 1880, brought to life by Lesage's artistic prowess. His dignified expression hints at a man who played a significant role in Irish politics during his time. The Right Honorable James Whiteside follows suit; Lord Chief Justice of Ireland during turbulent times depicted through Mayal's skillful rendering circa 1850-1880. This portrait invites us to explore an intriguing chapter in legal history. Thomas Southerne steps onto our canvas next; c1710 marks his appearance amidst James Worsdale's strokes from circa 1880. With every brushstroke capturing his essence, we catch glimpses of Southerne’s theatrical brilliance that enthralled audiences centuries ago. Daniel O'Connell makes multiple appearances on our journey - first captured by Joseph Patrick Haverty around c1830 and then again by Thomas Heathfield Carrick circa 1840 - both works dating back to approximately c1880.
