EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intellectual prowess of David Hume, a prominent figure in Scottish history. Born in 1711 and passing away in 1776, Hume left an indelible mark as a philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist. This particular portrait was featured in The International Library of Famous Literature around the year 1900. In this image, Hume's piercing gaze captures his profound intellect and deep contemplation. His thoughtful expression hints at the skepticism that defined his philosophical views. Known for his empiricism and naturalism, Hume challenged traditional beliefs with his rational approach to understanding the world.

His works continue to inspire critical thinking across various disciplines. This print serves as a timeless reminder of David Hume's enduring legacy as a philosopher who dared to question established norms. It is not just an illustration but also a historical artifact that transports us back to the intellectual atmosphere of eighteenth-century Scotland.
