1798 1851 Macbeth Moir Physician
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual and introspective gaze of David Macbeth Moir (1798-1851), a Scottish physician and writer, best known for his literary work "Mansie Wauch." Born on February 1, 1798, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Moir studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and later became a respected figure in the medical community. However, his true passion lay in literature. Moir's most famous work, "Mansie Wauch," is a novel that explores the themes of love, ambition, and morality. Set in the Scottish Borders, the story follows the life of Mansie Wauch, a young man who is torn between his love for two women and his desire for wealth and social status. The novel was published in 1826 and was an instant success, earning Moir critical acclaim and a loyal following. Despite his literary achievements, Moir continued to practice medicine throughout his life. He served as a surgeon in the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars and later became a professor of midwifery at the University of Edinburgh. Moir's dedication to both medicine and literature made him a unique figure in Scottish history. This portrait, taken in the late 1840s, captures Moir in his later years. His piercing gaze and thoughtful expression convey a sense of wisdom and introspection, reflecting the depth of his intellect and the complexity of his character. The portrait serves as a testament to Moir's enduring legacy as a Scottish physician, writer, and author, whose works continue to captivate readers to this day.
