1787 Evidently Lawyer Partial Quiet Stroll Woods
EDITORS COMMENTS
Robert Sym, a distinguished Scottish lawyer, is depicted in this image from the late 18th century, taking a tranquil respite from his professional pursuits in the serene embrace of the Scottish woods. The year is circa 1787, and the scene presents a striking contrast between the formal attire of the man and the natural, untamed beauty of the forest. Robert Sym's attire is that of a man of means and standing in his community. His black coat, white shirt, and waistcoat are fastidiously tailored, while his cravat is neatly tied. The lawyer's wig, a sign of his profession, is meticulously powdered and arranged. Yet, despite his formal attire, there is an air of relaxation about him as he takes a leisurely stroll through the woods. The woods themselves are a testament to the natural splendor of Scotland during this period. The trees are tall and lush, their leaves a vibrant green, and the undergrowth is a riot of color from wildflowers. The sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor. The scene is one of peace and tranquility, a welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle of urban life. Robert Sym's love for the woods is evident in his expression. His eyes are closed, and a small, contented smile plays at the corners of his mouth. It is as if he is lost in thought, or perhaps simply enjoying the sensation of the cool forest air on his face. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a Scottish lawyer from the late 18th century, a time when the natural world was still an integral part of daily life. It is a reminder that even the most distinguished men of the time found solace in the simple pleasures of nature.
