EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dr Johnson in the Highlands" transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of Scotland. The engraving, created by William Lockhart Bogle in 1881, captures a moment from "The Great Lexicographer in the Highlands" written by the Marquess of Lorne. In this scene, we see Dr Samuel Johnson, renowned writer and lexicographer, accompanied by his faithful companion James Boswell. They are surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Scottish highlands, with its rugged mountains and lush greenery. The image depicts Dr Johnson deep in thought as he contemplates his surroundings. As we delve into this artwork further, our attention is drawn to an elephant standing beside them. This unexpected presence adds an element of intrigue and wonder to the composition. Perhaps it symbolizes Dr Johnson's intellectual prowess or represents an encounter with exotic wildlife during their journey through Scotland. The boatman on the river nearby hints at their exploration of remote areas inaccessible by land. It is evident that this adventure has allowed them to immerse themselves not only in nature but also in Scottish culture and traditions. Through this evocative engraving, we are transported into a world where literature meets wild landscapes—a testament to Dr Johnson's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest writers and thinkers.
