EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling High Street of Edinburgh, Scotland. The scene is brought to life through the illustration for Tales of a Grandfather by Sir Walter Scott, created around 1910 by Allan Stewart. In the heart of this historic street, we witness a dramatic moment known as "A Tulzie". The term "tulzie" refers to a scuffle or brawl that has erupted within the confines of a house. It seems that tempers have flared and chaos ensues as individuals engage in an intense altercation. The artist skillfully captures the energy and tension of this tumultuous event. Figures are depicted with animated expressions, their bodies contorted in various positions indicative of physical struggle. We can almost hear shouts and cries filling the air amidst this frenzied clash. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that such incidents were not uncommon during those times. This artwork serves as a reminder of the vibrant yet volatile nature of Edinburgh's past. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved within these pages. It invites us to reflect on our own understanding of conflict and reminds us that even amid chaos, there is beauty to be found in capturing these moments through art.
