EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the highlands of Scotland in 1933. The image showcases a group of Redcoats marching along Wades Road, their disciplined strides echoing through the rugged landscape. These soldiers, dressed in their distinctive scarlet uniforms, represent an era steeped in military tradition and colonial power. However, amidst this display of strength and orderliness, one Highlander stands out from the crowd. His piercing gaze is fixed upon the passing Redcoats as he raises his hand towards them with a look of intense concentration. It is said that at this very moment, he utters a curse that reverberates through the air. The tension between these two worlds - that of authority and rebellion - is palpable within this single frame. The Highlanders' fierce loyalty to their land clashes with the imposing presence of British rule. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of historical conflicts and cultural divisions. Published in The Illustrated London News Christmas Number for 1933 by Hilary Jane Morgan, this image not only documents an important period but also encapsulates the power dynamics at play during that time. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era where soldiers marched on ancient roads while curses echoed through misty Highlands – forever etching themselves into history's tapestry.
