EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Dundee from Balgay, 1890" takes us back to a bygone era in Scotland. The print, created by Richard Davidson Winter and housed at The McManus in Dundee, UK, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the city's past. The artist skillfully engraved this piece after a painting by Charles Gustav Louis Phillips, capturing the essence of Dundee's industrial landscape during the late 19th century. As we peer into the image, our eyes are drawn to the sprawling fields surrounding the city. These fertile lands were once teeming with agricultural activity and played an integral role in sustaining local communities. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this rural backdrop is Dundee itself—a bustling cityscape emerging on the horizon. Tall chimneys billow smoke into the sky as evidence of its thriving industries. This visual contrast between nature and progress highlights both Dundee's Victorian roots and its rapidly evolving urbanization. Beyond its historical significance lies an undeniable sense of tranquility within this artwork. A solitary tree stands tall amidst it all—its roots firmly planted in Scottish soil while witnessing societal changes unfold before it. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, let us reflect on how far Dundee has come since that time—a testament to human resilience and progress amidst changing landscapes.
