EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette, taken by the renowned Scottish artist Auguste Edouart on April 11th, 1827, showcases the intriguing character of Thomas McDermott, a native of County Cavan, Northern Ireland. Born without hands or feet, McDermott defied the odds and became an inventive and resourceful man, creating a livelihood for himself, his wife, and their four children through the manufacture of intricately designed flower vases, candle shades, and hand screens. Despite his physical limitations, McDermott's spirit and determination were unyielding. He became a well-known figure in the streets of Bath during the Regency era, where he traded and sold his unique wares as a hawker. His creations were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, adding a touch of elegance and charm to the homes of his customers. Edouart, a master silhouettist, captured McDermott's likeness in this stunning silhouette, preserving a snapshot of history and the resilience of the human spirit. McDermott's story is a testament to his ingenuity, perseverance, and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. This silhouette is a reminder of the rich history of Bath and the fascinating characters that once inhabited its streets during the Regency era.
