Description:
Engraved portrait of Scottish novelist Henry Mackenzie (1745-1831) at the age of eighty-three. Scott read Henry Mackenzie's novels in his youth and became his friend and colleague in adulthood. Mackenzie contributed to Walter Scott's Edinburgh Annual Register and both men were trustees of the Edinburgh Theatre. In 1823, Scott edited Mackenzie's fiction for Ballantyne's Novelists Library, and provided a biographical sketch of the author which was subsequently reprinted as one of his Lives of the Novelists. The original portrait by Colvin Smith was painted in 1828.
