EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Thomas Dundas, the 2nd Earl of Zetland, in all his aristocratic grandeur. The portrait showcases a man who exudes power and authority, dressed impeccably in his formal attire befitting his status. Adorned with a chain of office around his neck, he proudly displays the silver trowel that symbolizes an important moment in history. The image immortalizes the Earl as the Grand Master of the Freemasons of England during the 19th century. His role is further highlighted by him holding the very tool used to lay down the foundation stone for Caledonian Girls School in 1844. This act not only demonstrates his commitment to philanthropy but also signifies his influence within society. The engraving was originally featured in "Illustrated London News" back in 1844, capturing public attention and admiration for this distinguished gentleman. Although created by an unknown artist, it beautifully encapsulates Victorian elegance and sophistication. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait today, we are transported back to a time when men like Thomas Dundas held significant sway over British society. It serves as a reminder of their contributions to education and charity while showcasing their opulent lifestyle. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship simultaneously—truly a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
