The Empress Eugenie in Sir Walter Scott's study at Abbotsford, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Empress Eugenie in Sir Walter Scott's study at Abbotsford, 1860. Whilst the Empress was in Scotland she visited Abbotsford, and her Majesty took great interest in the relics of Sir Walter Scott, and in the whole district consecrated by his genius...From [the library] there is a communication with the study, which is, perhaps, the most interesting of all the apartments, hallowed as it is by such intimate associations with the great author. It contains a small writing-table, a plain arm-chair covered with black leather, and a single chair besides. There are a few books, chiefly for reference; and a light gallery of tracery-work runs round three sides, while a single window admits a sombre light into the place. Attached to it is a closet containing, within a glass case on a table, the clothes which belonged to Sir Walter as a yeoman, and as a member of the Celtic Society; the walking-stick and forest accoutrements which he had used to carry in his strolls through his woods; and the drab trousers, striped vest, blue coat, and white hat, which he wore shortly before his death'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, during her visit to Sir Walter Scott's historic home, Abbotsford, in Scotland, in 1860. The Empress is depicted sitting in Sir Walter's study, an intimate space filled with the author's personal belongings and treasured relics. The room, which is connected to the library, is where Scott spent countless hours writing and reflecting. Its simple furnishings include a small writing table, a plain black leather armchair, and a single chair. The walls are adorned with a light gallery of tracery-work, and a single window allows a somber light to filter in. The study holds a special significance for Scott enthusiasts, as it is where many of his most renowned works were penned. The Empress, an avid reader and admirer of Scott's literature, took great interest in the room and its history. Among the few books in the study were those used for reference, reflecting Scott's meticulous research and attention to detail. Attached to the study is a closet, which houses some of Scott's most cherished personal items. These include the clothes he wore as a yeoman and a member of the Celtic Society, his walking stick, forest accoutrements, and the drab trousers, striped vest, blue coat, and white hat that he wore shortly before his death. The presence of these relics adds an air of solemnity and reverence to the space, making it a pilgrimage site for Scott devotees and history enthusiasts alike.
