EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" by Thomas Thomson (1870) showcases the distinguished figure of Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun (1653 - 1716). With his piercing gaze and resolute expression, Fletcher exudes an air of authority and patriotism. As a Scottish writer, politician, and staunch advocate for his homeland's independence, he vehemently opposed the historic Act of Union between Scotland and England in 1707. The intricate details captured in this portrait are truly remarkable. Fletcher's curly hair cascades down to his shoulders, complementing the formal attire he dons. His regal wig adds an element of sophistication to his appearance while emphasizing the fashion trends prevalent during that era. Fletcher's contribution as a statesman is etched into history, making this engraving a valuable piece for those interested in Scottish culture and political history. The vertical composition places him at center stage, commanding attention with his dignified presence. As we observe this illustration today, it serves as a reminder of Fletcher's unwavering dedication to preserving Scotland's identity amidst turbulent times. This print encapsulates not only the physical attributes but also the essence of a man who fought passionately for what he believed in – freedom and autonomy for his beloved nation.
