No Binding. Zustand: Fine. Limited Edition. 80 x 565mm (image 255 x 410mm). Edition limited to 40, numbered and signed by the artist. One of a series of seven prints commissioned from Scottish printmakers by the Cromarty Arts Trust, in co-operation with art.tm in Inverness (formerly the Highland Printmakers' Workshop, now the Highland Print Studio), to celebrate the bicentenary of Hugh Miller (1802-1856), the Cromarty stonemason who became one of the great writers of the Scottish nineteenth century. Each was issued in an edition of 40. A lone man on the Cromarty shore confronts a huge wave - as might the 1989 Tiananmen Square protester square up to a tank. Donald Miller, a retired shoemaker in Cromarty, undaunted by destructive winter storms, painstakingly rebuilt his sea defences each year, as Hugh Miller records in Scenes and Legends: "He rose, however, with renewed vigour; and a third bulwark, more thoroughly finished than even the second, stretched ere the beginning of autumn between his property and the sea. Throughout the whole of that summer, from grey morning to grey evening, there might be seen on the shore of Cromarty a decent-looking, elderly man, armed with lever and mattock, rolling stones, or raising them from their beds in the sand, or fixing them together in a sloping wall - toiling as never labourer toiled, and ever and anon, as a neighbour sauntered the way, straightening his weary back, and tendering the ready snuff-box. That decent-looking, elderly man, was Donald Miller. But his toil was all in vain. Again came winter and the storms; again had he betaken himself to his bed, for his third bulwark had gone the way of the two others. With a resolution truly indomitable, he rose yet again, and erected a fourth bulwark, which has now presented an unbroken front to the storms of twenty years . . ."
