"Sir Walter Scott"
Sir Walter Scott, engraved by John Horsburgh after Sir Henry Raeburn (1837).
Horsburgh originally engraved Raeburn's 1808 portrait of Scott for the 2nd edition of J.G. Lockhart's Life of Scott in 1837.
Unlike the earlier portraits of Scott which were designed for a private, domestic setting, Raeburn's portrait was very much conceived with reproduction in mind. For over a decade, it would be the most frequently engraved and widely diffused image of Scott.
