EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history as George Wishart fearlessly preaches to the people of Dundee during the devastating Plague. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, transports us back to a time of great turmoil and uncertainty. In this powerful scene, we see Wishart standing tall amidst a crowd of desperate onlookers. His commanding presence and fervent gestures suggest his unwavering determination to bring solace and hope to those affected by the deadly epidemic. The haunting backdrop of plague-ridden streets serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by both preacher and congregation. The significance of this historical event is further emphasized by its inclusion in "The Scots Worthies" a renowned publication from Blackie in 1879. This engraving not only immortalizes Wishart's courageous act but also pays homage to Scottish resilience during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where faith was tested against unimaginable adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest hours, there are individuals like George Wishart who rise above their own fears and selflessly offer guidance and comfort to others. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary visual representation that encapsulates the rich tapestry of Scottish history while honoring one man's unwavering dedication to his community during times of despair.
