EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Dunfermline, March 2, 1847,' is a testament to the artistic prowess of Scottish painter and printmaker, William Leighton Leitch (1804-1883). Created on March 2, 1847, this pen and brown ink and graphite on ivory wove paper drawing, later laid down on board, offers a glimpse into the past of Dunfermline, a historic town in Fife, Scotland. Leitch's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the narrow, aged alleyway, with its weathered walls and peeling paint. The buildings on either side, with their distinct architectural features, transport us back to the 19th century, inviting us to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life that once filled this quaint alleyway. The print, now part of the permanent collection at The Art Institute of Chicago, is a significant addition to the institution's vast archive of heritage art. Leitch's masterful use of pen and ink, combined with his keen observational skills, results in an image that is as visually striking today as it would have been over 170 years ago. As we study the print, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage of Scotland and the importance of preserving and celebrating the art and history of the past. This image of Dunfermline serves as a reminder of the beauty and charm of Scotland's historic towns and the artists who captured their essence for future generations to appreciate.
