EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott and his esteemed literary friends gathered at Abbotsford. The year was 1849, and this group of brilliant minds came together to discuss their shared passion for literature and the arts. Seated in the center is Sir Walter Scott himself, surrounded by an impressive lineup of intellectuals including Thomas Thomson, James Ballantyne, Archibald Constable, Thomas Campbell, Tom Moore, Sir Adam Fergusson, Francis Jeffrey, William Wordsworth, John Gibson Lockhart, George Crabbe, Henry Mackenzie, and James Hogg on a footstool. Standing proudly behind them are Sir Humphrey Davy, Sir David Wilkie, Sir William Allan, and Professor John Wilson. The room they occupy exudes an air of intellectuality with shelves filled with books lining the walls. Each person's expression reveals their deep contemplation as they engage in lively conversations about literature and philosophy. This photograph not only immortalizes these great thinkers but also serves as a reminder of the rich literary heritage that Scotland possesses. It is a testament to the power of friendship and intellectual exchange that transcends time. As we gaze upon this image today from Heritage Images' collection curated by o'Deàltaí Ógáin , we can't help but feel inspired by the legacy left behind by these remarkable individuals who shaped our understanding of literature during the Victorian era.
