EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" by Thomas Thomson (1870) showcases the distinguished figure of William Forbes, 6th Baronet. A Scottish banker and philanthropist, Forbes left an indelible mark on history with his contributions to the financial sector. As a founder of the Union Bank of Scotland, he played a pivotal role in shaping the country's banking landscape. In this portrait, we see a mature man with grey hair and a receding hairline, exuding an air of wisdom and experience. His gaze is directed away from us, perhaps lost in deep contemplation or reflecting upon his remarkable achievements. The artist skillfully captures Forbes' formal attire and waist-up pose, emphasizing his status as a nobleman. Beyond his professional accomplishments in banking, Forbes was known for his generosity towards various charitable causes. This engraving serves as a testament to both his influential position within society and his commitment to making positive change. As we delve into this historical depiction, it transports us back to 1870 when this illustration was created. It offers us insight into Scottish culture during that era while honoring the life and legacy of William Forbes – an exceptional individual who dedicated himself not only to finance but also to bettering the lives of others through philanthropy.
