EDITORS COMMENTS
Rothesay, the principal town of the Isle of Bute in Scotland, is depicted in this beautiful 1890 drawing by Joseph Carey. Carey, an accomplished artist known for his skillful use of pencil, ink, and watercolor, captures the picturesque charm of Rothesay's waterfront. The town's Victorian architecture is on full display, with grand houses and buildings adorned with white facades and intricate details. The town's namesake castle, Rothesay Castle, sits proudly atop a hill in the background, adding a sense of history and grandeur to the scene. The Firth of Clyde laps gently against the shore, reflecting the vibrant colors of the town and the clear blue sky above. Boats of various sizes dot the water, adding a sense of activity and industry to the peaceful scene. The town's pier extends out into the firth, inviting visitors to explore the surrounding waters and islands. The natural beauty of the area is also on display, with lush greenery and rolling hills in the distance. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the drawing, making it a true work of art. This image of Rothesay offers a glimpse into the past, transporting viewers to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of nature and community were cherished.
