SCOTT CENTENARY, 1871 - A Monument to Sir Walter Scott Unveiled at Central Park
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1871, we witness a momentous occasion in the heart of New York City's Central Park. The image captures the laying of the cornerstone for a grand monument dedicated to the renowned Scottish novelist and playwright, Sir Walter Scott. The scene is filled with an air of celebration as men and women gather around the construction site, eagerly observing this historic event during the centenary celebration of Scott's birth. Dressed in traditional Scottish kilts and upper-class attire, they pay homage to one of literature's most influential figures. Amidst a backdrop of lush greenery, towering trees, and North American flags fluttering in the wind, it becomes evident that this tribute holds great significance not only for Scots but also for Americans who admire Scott's literary contributions. The wood engraving technique used to create this artwork adds depth and texture to each figure present on that memorable day. It transports us back in time when late 19th-century America celebrated cultural icons like never before. This remarkable print by Granger Art on Demand serves as a timeless reminder of how art can bridge nations and honor those whose words have left an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
