EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the exquisite sculpture group, "The Tam O' Shanter Group," located in Central Park, New York. Created by renowned Scottish-American sculptor Robert Thompson around the turn of the 20th century, this masterpiece brings to life the beloved characters Tam O' Shanter and Souter Johnnie from the poems of Robert Burns. Thompson's intricate and detailed sculpture captures the essence of Burns' verses, with Tam O' Shanter depicted on his galloping horse, pursued by the witches he had inadvertently disturbed. Souter Johnnie, a stout and jolly figure, rides alongside, attempting to warn Tam of the impending danger. The sculpture, part of the Box 160 Modern New York collection in the Boswell Collection, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that has shaped Central Park. The intricate details of the characters' faces, clothing, and horse are on full display in this photograph, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring influence of Scottish literature on American art and culture. The photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a rare and beautiful glimpse into the history of Central Park and the art that adorns its green spaces. The timeless nature of Thompson's sculpture, combined with the stunning clarity of this photograph, makes for a truly breathtaking and evocative image.
