John Kay - 3 etchings of Scottish characters 1877.
These engravings are from A Series of Original Portraits and Caricature Etchings by John Kay. Published by Adam and Charles Black, Edinburgh, 1877.
Kay was a caricaturist, engraver and miniature painter and a contemporary of Rowlandson and Gillray - though far gentler in his wit. He produced scenes of Edinburgh characters and of comic events in contemporary Edinburgh society, which won a popular following.
He depicted all the prominent figures and well-known personalities of the day. Kay's portraits of Adam Smith are considered the only authentic likenesses that exist of the great economist.
