EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by John Kay depicts William Brodie, a prosperous Edinburgh cabinetmaker of the late 18th century. However, behind his respectable facade lay a secret life as the leader of a notorious gang of burglars. Brodie's criminal activities eventually led to his downfall when he was hanged for robbing the Excise Office in Edinburgh. The intriguing story of William Brodie caught the attention of renowned author RL Stevenson, who immortalized him in his novel "Deacon Brodie" published in 1880. This literary work shed light on the dual nature of humanity and explored themes of deception and crime. In this etching, Kay skillfully captures both sides of Brodie's character - his confident demeanor as a successful cabinetmaker and the hidden darkness that lurked within him. The intricate details bring out the essence of this complex figure, showcasing how appearances can be deceiving. William Brodie serves as a reminder that even those deemed prosperous and respected can harbor secrets that may ultimately lead to their downfall. This print not only showcases an important historical figure but also highlights the power literature holds in preserving stories from our past.
