EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the renowned Scottish artist, Sam Bough, R.S.A. (Royal Scottish Academy), in his studio at Jordanbank, Edinburgh, in 1878. The image, taken by the acclaimed photographer James Moore, offers a rare glimpse into the personal and creative world of Bough. Bough, born in Ireland in 1822, was a prolific and influential figure in Scottish art. He was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere in his drawings and paintings. In this photograph, we see Bough deep in concentration, surrounded by his art supplies - pencils, ink, and paper - as he works on a drawing. The artist's intense focus and dedication to his craft are palpable, making this photograph not only a valuable historical record but also a poignant reminder of the creative process. The setting of Bough's studio at Jordanbank adds to the image's intrigue. The studio, located in Edinburgh, was a hub of artistic activity and a gathering place for many of Scotland's most prominent artists. The walls are adorned with finished works and works in progress, providing a glimpse into the rich artistic community of the time. This photograph, taken in 1878, offers a unique and intimate look into the life of one of Scotland's most celebrated artists. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the passion and dedication that lies at the heart of the creative process.
