EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Major-General David Stewart of Garth, a renowned Scottish author from the 19th century. Painted by JB Shaw in 1870, this portrait captures the essence of Stewart's intellectual prowess and military background. Stewart, born in 1772 and passing away in 1829, left an indelible mark on Scottish literature with his influential work titled "Sketches of the Character, Manners, and Present State of the Highlanders of Scotland". Published in 1822, this book gained widespread popularity and significantly shaped public perception regarding the Scottish Highlands and its inhabitants. In this engraving from Robert Chambers' "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" we see Stewart donning spectacles that symbolize his scholarly pursuits. His piercing gaze reflects wisdom acquired through years spent studying history and documenting military services within Highland regiments. The image not only portrays a distinguished soldier but also highlights Stewart's contribution as a historian. It serves as a reminder of his significant role in preserving Scotland's cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate. Through this remarkable photo print, we are transported back to a time when men like Major-General David Stewart played pivotal roles both on the battlefield and within the realm of literature. This piece is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates an era defined by bravery, intellectuality, and national pride.
