Sir Walter Scott Bart.
Sir Walter Scott Bart.
Engraved by Willm. Walker from a Picture by Sir Henry Raeburn R.A.
Printed by McQueen. Published 1st. Octr. 1826 by W. Walker, 3 Gt. Queen Street, Edinburgh & 18, Norton Street, Portland Road, London [& Shroth, Paris].
Stipple and etching on india paper, proof, 395 x 305mm. (15½ x 12") with large margins. A fine impression, some foxing.
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 - 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and (to a lesser extent) his poetry are still read, but he is far less popular nowadays than he was at the height of his fame. Nevertheless many of his works remain classics of English literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley and The Heart of Midlothian. Royal arms to margin. After Sir Henry Raeburn (1756 - 1823).
