EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, 12th Baronet of Keir (1818-1878), is depicted with an intensity that seems to pierce through the very soul. The Scottish writer, Lord Rector of the University of Edinburgh, gazes directly at the viewer with hypnotic eyes that seem to challenge and engage. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the intellectual and commanding presence of Stirling-Maxwell, who was known for his profound literary contributions and dedication to education. Born into a noble family, Stirling-Maxwell was educated at the University of Edinburgh and went on to become a prolific writer, publishing works on history, literature, and politics. He also held various public offices, including Lord Rector of the University of Edinburgh, a position he held from 1868 to 1872. During his tenure, he worked tirelessly to improve the university's facilities and academic reputation. Despite his distinguished career, Stirling-Maxwell remains best known for his literary works, which reflect his deep knowledge and passion for Scottish history and culture. His most famous work, "The Book of the Dean of Guild," is a collection of ballads and stories that celebrates the traditions and folklore of Scotland. The intensity of his gaze in this photograph reflects the intensity of his commitment to preserving and sharing the rich cultural heritage of his homeland. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the written word and the intellectual curiosity that drives great thinkers and leaders. Sir William Stirling-Maxwell's hypnotic eyes invite us to explore the depths of his mind and the wealth of knowledge he left behind. This image, a precious relic of the past, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
