Metal Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
Abbotsford
circa 1900: The residence of Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832) at Abbotsford. Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh and qualified there as a lawyer in 1792. Popular success as a writer came with The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1802-3), an edition of ballads, and The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), a narrative poem. He is perhaps best remembered for his novels which include Waverley (1814), Rob Roy (1817) and Ivanhoe (1820). In 1811 he built a country seat at Abbotsford near Galashiels. Scott had many debts from an unfortunate business venture but refused to declare himself bankrupt and continued to publish his writing to try and recover his money. His output was varied, ranging from novel-writing and poetry to history and biography. Scott died shortly after returning from a tour of the Mediterranean and the rights of his work were sold to cover his losses. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

Abbotsford - A Glimpse into the Life of Sir Walter Scott
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to Abbotsford, the cherished residence of renowned Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott. Captured around 1900, this image offers a rare glimpse into the world of one of Scotland's literary giants. Born in Edinburgh in 1771, Scott flourished as both a lawyer and a writer. His popular success began with his collection of ballads titled "The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border" (1802-3) and continued with his narrative poem "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" (1805). However, it is his novels such as "Waverley" (1814), "Rob Roy" (1817), and "Ivanhoe" (1820) that have left an indelible mark on literature. In 1811, Scott built Abbotsford near Galashiels as his country seat. Despite facing financial difficulties due to an ill-fated business venture, he refused to declare bankruptcy and instead tirelessly pursued writing to recover his losses. His diverse body of work ranged from novels and poetry to history and biography. Tragically, shortly after returning from a Mediterranean tour, Scott passed away. To cover his debts, the rights to his works were sold posthumously. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of Sir Walter Scott's enduring legacy but also highlights the determination and resilience that characterized him throughout his life. Preserved by Hulton Archive/Getty Images for generations to come, this remarkable piece invites us into the world where imagination thrived amidst adversity - forever capturing Sir Walter Scott's spirit within its frame.
