EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian era in the Scottish Highlands. The image showcases a crofter, a traditional Scottish farmer, standing proudly before his herd of Highland cattle. Dressed in the typical attire of the time, the crofter wears a tweed jacket, waistcoat, and a tam o' Shanter on his head, while his hands are tucked into his pockets. His expression is one of quiet confidence and contentment, reflecting the deep connection he shares with his land and livestock. The backdrop of the photograph is a picturesque scene of rolling hills, dotted with heather and scattered trees. The crisp, clear air of the Scottish Highlands is evident in the way the mist clings to the landscape, creating an ethereal atmosphere. In the foreground, a lantern slide rests on a wooden stool, suggesting that this photograph was once used for entertainment during Victorian-era lantern slide shows. Highland cattle, with their distinctive long horns and shaggy coats, graze peacefully in the background, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the golden heather and the blue sky. The scene is a testament to the simple, yet profound way of life that defined the Scottish crofting community during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and tradition of crofting in Scotland and offers a glimpse into the daily life of a crofter during a bygone era. The image is not only a valuable historical document but also a work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
