EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 19th century on the picturesque Isle of Skye in Scotland. A group of English tourists stands in awe as they watch Scottish fishermen skillfully open pearl oysters. The scene is filled with anticipation and curiosity, as these visitors from across the border witness a unique cultural tradition. The rugged beauty of the island serves as a breathtaking backdrop for this momentous occasion. Towering cliffs and rocky shores create an atmosphere of raw nature, while a bustling harbor nearby adds a touch of maritime charm. The tourists' sturdy boots firmly planted on the basalt ground symbolize their eagerness to explore this enchanting land. This handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Read captures not only the physical landscape but also the spirit of adventure that permeates through every inch of Scotland's stunning scenery. It is part of "The Tour of Doctor Prosody" a picaresque journey through Scotland, where caricature meets travelogue. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear Samuel Johnson's words echoing in our ears: "To see Skye without seeing its fishermen opening pearl oysters would be like visiting London without seeing Buckingham Palace". This illustration transports us back to an era when exploration was at its peak and reminds us that even today, there are hidden gems waiting to be discovered in every corner of our world.
