EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and towering figure of Shaun, a creature of folklore and fascination from the 1920s. The image, part of The Florence Mary Anderson Collection held by Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era of mystery and wonder. Shaun, also known as the "Molly Mcarthur Monster" or the "Mumbudget Giant," was a popular legend in the Scottish Borders during the 1920s. He was said to be a tall, hairy creature with a large head and a mischievous grin. According to local folklore, Shaun would roam the countryside, causing mischief and occasionally offering help to those in need. In this photograph, Shaun is depicted in a playful and whimsical manner, with a twinkle in his eye and a pose that suggests a sense of mischief. He is dressed in a simple tunic and trousers, adding to the authenticity of the image. The backdrop of the photograph is a lush, green landscape, further emphasizing the connection between Shaun and the natural world. The photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the folklore and traditions of the 1920s. It invites us to imagine a time when such creatures were believed in and celebrated, and to appreciate the power of storytelling and the role it plays in shaping our cultural heritage. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a valuable historical document, providing us with a unique insight into the folklore and traditions of a bygone era.
