EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph captures the solemn and introspective gaze of George Gilfillan, a renowned Scottish writer and poet. Born on February 17, 1813, in Dundee, Scotland, Gilfillan is best known for his poetic works that reflected the social and economic conditions of his time. His poetry was deeply rooted in the Scottish tradition, and he is considered a significant figure in the Scottish literary renaissance of the 19th century. The photograph, taken in 1878, shows Gilfillan in middle age, with a serious expression and a neatly trimmed beard. He is dressed in a formal suit, with a crisp white collar and a bow tie. The background is plain, focusing all the attention on Gilfillan's face and his expressive eyes. Gilfillan's literary career began in the 1830s, and he quickly gained a reputation for his powerful and emotive poetry. His most famous works include "The Bleachers," "The Sands o' Shandon," and "The Widow o' the Marshes." Gilfillan's poetry was deeply influenced by the harsh realities of working-class life in Scotland, and he used his writing to raise awareness of the social and economic issues facing the Scottish people. Despite his success as a writer, Gilfillan's life was not without tragedy. He lost his wife and two of his children at a young age, and his health declined in his later years. He died on February 18, 1878, just a few days after his 65th birthday. This CDV photograph is a poignant reminder of Gilfillan's enduring legacy as a Scottish writer and poet, whose works continue to resonate with readers today. The solemn expression on his face speaks to the depth of emotion and introspection that characterized his poetry, and the formal attire reflects the respect and admiration he earned during his lifetime.
