EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Sinclair of Ulbster, a prominent figure in Scottish history. Born in 1754 at Thurso Castle in Caithness, Scotland, Sinclair was not only a politician but also an esteemed economist and writer on finance and agriculture. His most notable work is the "Statistical Account of Scotland" which spanned an impressive 21 volumes and was published between 1791 and 1799. The engraving featured here is based on a portrait by Henry Raeburn, capturing Sinclair dressed in traditional Highland attire with his hand confidently resting on his hip. This three-quarter length depiction exudes both power and intellect as he gazes directly at the camera. Taken from Thomas Thomson's renowned publication "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" dating back to 1870, this image offers us a glimpse into the life of one of Scotland's influential figures. It beautifully encapsulates Sinclair's contribution to economics, politics, and Scottish culture. Set against an outdoor backdrop under natural daylight, this vertical composition focuses solely on Sinclair himself – one mid-adult man who left an indelible mark on history through his writings and political endeavors. While this print holds immense historical significance, it should be noted that it is not associated with any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company or organization.
