EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a truly extraordinary moment in history - a Scotsman fearlessly riding an exploding steam engine. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the audacity and adventurous spirit of the Scottish people. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and picturesque countryside, this scene unfolds with dramatic intensity. The explosion engulfs the steam engine as our brave Highlander clings to its back, his tartan kilt billowing in the chaos. His startled expression reflects both surprise and determination amidst this unforeseen misfortune. The image is reminiscent of a Christmas greetings card from yesteryears, evoking nostalgia for simpler times when such whimsical scenes were shared among loved ones during the holiday season. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of unexpected mishaps or accidents, there is always room for laughter and joy. The Scotsman's traditional attire - complete with tam o' shanter hat and Highland costume - adds to the charm of this artwork while symbolizing national pride. This fusion of British culture and European influence highlights Scotland's unique place within Great Britain. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, we are transported back to an era where road transport was still evolving, capturing both danger and excitement on canvas. Let us celebrate this daring Scot who defies convention by embracing adventure even amidst explosive circumstances.
