EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrew Nicol: A Noted Edinburgh Character of the 1810s - A Businessman Entangled in Lawsuits (ANDREW NICOL, 1765-1817) This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Andrew Nicol, a prominent Edinburgh businessman and noted character of the early 19th century. Known for his involvement in numerous lawsuits, Nicol's image has been immortalized in this striking print from the annals of Scottish history. Born in Edinburgh around 1765, Nicol made his fortune in the city's bustling commercial scene. However, his business dealings were not without controversy. A litigious man by nature, Nicol was no stranger to the courts, often finding himself embroiled in disputes with business associates and rivals alike. Despite his contentious reputation, Nicol cut an imposing figure in Edinburgh society. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the day, complete with a crisp waistcoat and cravat, he exudes an air of confidence and authority. His piercing gaze and stern expression suggest a man who was not to be trifled with. The date of this portrait is 1817, a year that would prove to be pivotal in Nicol's life. It was in this year that he was involved in one of his most high-profile lawsuits, a bitter dispute with the prominent Edinburgh lawyer, Sir George Mackenzie. The case, which lasted for several years, saw Nicol accused of defamation and was a major talking point in Edinburgh's legal and social circles. Despite the controversy that surrounded him, Andrew Nicol remains an intriguing and fascinating figure in Edinburgh's history. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who, for better or worse, left an indelible mark on the city's commercial and legal landscape.
