EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Robert Gordon of Straloch, a renowned Scottish cartographer from the 17th century. The image, captured by artist S Freeman in 1870, beautifully depicts Gordon's distinguished presence and his significant contributions to map making during his time. Gordon is best remembered for his invaluable work on William Blaeus Great Atlas of Scotland. His expertise in geography and cartography earned him great recognition within the field. In this portrait, he exudes an air of intellect and authority, dressed in traditional Scottish attire with a prominent ruff collar that adds a touch of elegance to his appearance. The engraving was featured in Robert Chambers A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen published by Blackie and Son in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London. It serves as a testament to Gordon's lasting legacy as one of Scotland's eminent figures. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the timeless quality of this image while capturing the essence of both the 17th-century Stuart era and the 19th-century Victorian period when it was printed. This remarkable piece allows us to glimpse into history through the lens of artistry. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded not only of Robert Gordon's exceptional skills but also how individuals like him shaped our understanding of geography and contributed significantly to their respective fields.
