EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Tam O Shanter" depicts a thrilling scene of escape and adventure. The illustration, created by an English School artist, is part of a private collection and was featured in John Francis Waller's book "Pictures from English Literature" around 1881. In this dramatic image, we see Tam O Shanter on horseback, fearlessly riding through the night. He is fleeing from a group of witches who are chasing him with their brooms raised high. The intensity of the moment is palpable as Tam attempts to outrun his pursuers. The engraver skillfully captures the essence of this exhilarating sport-like chase, showcasing both Tam's bravery and the supernatural power of the witches. The detailed lines bring life to every element in the composition - from the flowing manes of horses to the billowing skirts of sorceresses. This artwork transports us back to a time when field sports were not limited to traditional games but extended into fantastical adventures like this one. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, people sought excitement and thrills beyond everyday life. With its timeless appeal and masterful execution, this engraving remains an enduring testament to both artistic talent and storytelling prowess. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection ensures that it will continue to captivate audiences for generations to come.
