The Grey Man of Auchendrayne
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that transports us back to the late 19th century. Created by John Seymour Lucas and published in The Graphic on June 20,1896, this illustration tells a haunting tale shrouded in mystery. In the foreground, we see the enigmatic figure known as "The Grey Man of Auchendrayne". Cloaked in darkness and wearing a mask that conceals his face, he stands tall with an axe gripped firmly in his mighty hands. His assistants surround him, their black aprons contrasting against the dark backdrop. Together, they form an eerie tableau. The central focus of the image is undoubtedly the scaffold where figures await their fate. Headsman's block looms ominously nearby while chief headsman oversees this grim work. The eyes of those condemned meet ours through the print; fear and resignation etched upon their faces. This engraving brings to life S.

Lucas masterfully captures every detail - from the leathern waist apron worn by one assistant to defensive weapons clutched tightly by others - creating an atmosphere both foreboding and intriguing. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported into a world where darkness meets justice and revenge takes shape. It serves as a reminder that
