Dick Kennedy - The Adventurous Scotsman
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the spirit of adventure embodied by Dick Kennedy, a character from Jules Verne's renowned novel "Five Weeks in a Balloon". Illustrated by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, this engraving brings to life the daring nature of Kennedy as he sits confidently on a chair, surrounded by elements that define his Scottish heritage. With his tartan trousers and beret adorning his head, Kennedy proudly showcases his roots. His favoris (sideburns) frame his face with an air of sophistication and ruggedness. In one hand, he holds a map of Africa - the very continent where his thrilling expedition takes place. A smoking pipe rests between his lips, emitting wisps of smoke that add to the mysterious aura surrounding him. Kennedy's walking stick or cane leans against the chair, symbolizing both elegance and practicality. It serves as a reminder of his determination to conquer uncharted territories while maintaining composure and style. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into Kennedy's world - a world filled with untamed landscapes waiting to be explored. This portrayal encapsulates not only the essence of adventure but also pays homage to Scottish culture through its depiction of traditional attire and distinctive facial hair. Let us celebrate Dick Kennedy's indomitable spirit as he embarks on an extraordinary journey across Africa in pursuit of discovery and wonder
