EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Eminent Judge of Broom Besoms!! 1805" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of Scottish trade and social life in the 18th century. The engraving, created by John Kay, portrays Old John Tait, an iconic figure known as the Besom maker who traveled across the country selling his brooms. Old John Tait's patched attire and weathered face tell a story of resilience and hard work. With his hat perched atop his head and a besom stick in hand, he exudes character and determination. This posthumous portrait pays homage to a man who lived until the remarkable age of one hundred and ten years before passing away in January 1772. The detailed etching offers insight into Scotland's Hanoverian period during the Scottish Enlightenment. It is part of a series that includes original portraits and caricature etchings by John Kay, accompanied by biographical sketches and illustrative anecdotes. As we gaze upon this image from our private collection, we are transported to Edinburgh's bustling streets where tradesmen like Old John Tait played their vital roles in society. This engraving serves as a testament to their contribution while also shedding light on everyday life during this fascinating time in history.
