The book is a detailed account of the lives of two prominent figures in the 18th century - Sir Robert Strange and his brother-in-law Andrew Lumisden. Sir Robert Strange was a Scottish painter and engraver who gained fame for his work in Europe, particularly in Italy and France. Andrew Lumisden, on the other hand, was a Scottish Jacobite who served as a secretary to Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 uprising. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the life and career of Sir Robert Strange. It covers his early life in Orkney, his apprenticeship as an engraver in Edinburgh, and his subsequent move to Italy where he became a prominent figure in the art world. The second part of the book focuses on Andrew Lumisden and his involvement in the Jacobite uprising. It covers his early life in Scotland, his time in France as a secretary to Bonnie Prince Charlie, and his subsequent exile in Rome.Overall, Memoirs of Sir Robert Strange V2: And of His Brother-In-Law Andrew Lumisden is a fascinating account of two very different but equally important figures in 18th-century Scotland. The book provides a unique insight into the art world of Europe during this period, as well as the political turmoil that engulfed Scotland during the Jacobite uprising. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish history, art, or politics.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
