EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting depicts Thomas Louis Buvelot Esson, a Scottish-born Australian poet and playwright, at the tender age of 10 years old. The portrait, painted circa 1918 by renowned Australian artist George Walton, captures Esson's youthful charm and the rich cultural heritage that would later inspire his literary works. Born in Scotland in 1875, Esson and his family immigrated to Australia when he was just a child. Despite his early years spent in a new land, the Scottish traditions of his homeland remained deeply ingrained in him. This is evidenced by his appearance in the painting, which shows him proudly wearing traditional Scottish Highland dress. Esson's literary career began in earnest in the early 20th century, with the publication of his first play, "The Time is Not Yet Ripe," in 1912. This work, along with his later play "The Drovers," which was published in 1922, cemented his place in Australian literary history. The painting, titled "Louis Esson, circa 1918," is a rare and precious glimpse into the life of this influential figure before he became a celebrated poet and playwright. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the impact that our early experiences can have on our future endeavors. This beautiful oil painting is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection and is a testament to the rich artistic and literary history of Australia. It is a must-have for any collector of Australian art or literature, and a valuable addition to any home or office decor.
