His works serve as a valuable historical record, offering insights into the social and professional lives of his subjects.
The "Patent For Knighthood" engraving is accompanied by an additional twenty-eight engravings, all of which are after John Kay's original works. These engravings depict various judges, barristers, and other law-related professionals, providing a comprehensive visual documentation of the legal community of the time. Among the notable figures included in this collection are David Downie, Mr. Brodie, and a Grand Clerk, each rendered with Kay's characteristic attention to detail and satirical flair.
Kay's engravings are not merely artistic endeavors but also serve as social commentary, reflecting the idiosyncrasies and peculiarities of his subjects. His ability to capture the likeness and personality of individuals has made his works an invaluable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike. The collection, including "Patent For Knighthood," offers a unique glimpse into the legal and social fabric of 18th-century Scotland, highlighting the interplay between professional roles and personal identities.
The engravings are notable for their meticulous craftsmanship and the subtle humor that Kay infuses into his portrayals.
