EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the "Shadow and Substance" series by Charles H. Bennett, we encounter a thrifty and perhaps Scottish man named Save-all, engrossed in a simple yet humble scene. The man, dressed in traditional Scottish attire, sits by the dim light of a solitary candle, his feet soaking in a tub of water. The air around him seems heavy with the scent of frugality and the quietude of a bygone era. Save-all's expression is one of contentment as he spoons an unappetizing concoction into his mouth. The empty candle holder next to him casts an intriguing shadow on the wall, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The play of light and shadow, a hallmark of Bennett's masterful illustrations, creates a striking contrast between the man and his surroundings. The "Shadow and Substance" series, created in 1860, is a collection of shadow portraits of fictional characters. This particular illustration, with its historical setting and evocative details, invites viewers to ponder the story behind Save-all's frugal lifestyle and the significance of his shadow. The racial stereotypes often associated with this image are best understood in the historical context of the time and should not detract from the artistic merit of the work. This illustration, with its intricate details and rich storytelling, is a testament to Bennett's skill as an artist and his ability to transport us to another time and place.
