EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir William Forbes: A Scottish Banker and Writer, 1739-1806 This evocative portrait captures the likeness of Sir William Forbes, a prominent figure in Scottish history as a successful banker and prolific writer. Born in 1739, Forbes made his mark in the financial world, becoming a respected and influential figure in Scottish banking. His business acumen and shrewd investments earned him a considerable fortune and a prominent position in Scottish society. However, Forbes was not content to rest on his laurels. In his spare time, he turned his hand to writing, producing a wide range of works on various subjects, including history, literature, and theology. His most notable work, "The History of the House of Stuart," is a comprehensive account of the Stuart dynasty, which was widely read and highly regarded in its time. Despite his many accomplishments, Forbes' life was not without tragedy. He was deeply mourned by his family and friends when he passed away in 1806. The inscription on this portrait, "The good shall mourn a brother, all a friend," speaks to the profound impact he had on those around him. This portrait is a poignant reminder of Sir William Forbes' multifaceted legacy. As a banker, he left a lasting mark on Scottish finance; as a writer, he contributed to the literary and historical record of his time. And as a friend and brother, he left a deep and abiding impression on those who knew him best. This image, with its solemn inscription, serves as a fitting tribute to a man who lived a full and meaningful life.
