  • Clink Here to View the Press Release for Robert Scot
    404 Locust Street - Staunton VA 24401 - (888) 521-1789 Media contact: [email protected] ***** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***** August 2015 Robert Scot Engraving Liberty William F. Nyberg Robert Scot was without doubt the most prolific of colonial American engravers. His patriotic symbols inspired sentiments of rebellion, unity, and liberty throughout the Revolutionary period, and on into the early 19th century. His highly-skilled engravings depicted important historical events, such as a detailed map of the Siege of Yorktown, and included the original design for the Great Seal of the United States, various medals, coins and paper currency. In addition, the first encyclopedia published in America was enhanced by his superb scientific engravings. Until now, despite his significant achievements, this friend of the Founding Fathers has largely remained unknown to both historians and the general American public. William Nyberg’s extensive research of Scot and his world now allows his story to be told for the first time. This enthralling biography justifiably places Robert Scot among the most important and influential of early American artists. “A superb work and important contribution to the study of early American numismatics. Nyberg's engaging narrative, built upon hundreds of primary sources, is equally authoritative and readable. A complete examination of Scot's engraving work, including coins, medals, paper money, seals and revenue stamps, is long overdue, and Nyberg is fully up to the task.” - Leonard Augsburger, co-author of The Secret History of the First U.S. Mint About the Author William F. Nyberg is a member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Library Company of Philadelphia, and the American Numismatic Association.

  • Thomas Jeffersons Lost Seal
    Thomas Jeffersons Seal-Made By Robert Scot-The US Great Seal Maker Thomas Jefferson’s Lost Seal By Gary Gianotti By Gary Gianotti Oct-29th-2014 Thomas Jeffersons Seal-Made By Robert Scot-The US Great Seal Maker The Seal That Say’s A Thousand Words What Little Is Known Thomas Jefferson scholarʼs have never presented a detailed history of Jeffersonʼs lost personal seal. Only drawings of the original seal impression are known to exist today, aside of the one impression found on page one of this document. Jeffersons and Historical Seal Involvement Jefferson was no stranger with his direct involvement with being a member of the first Great Seal Committee of the United States. Working with Franklin and Adams, all three were known to have had little heraldry experience. They and members of a total of three seal committees, sought the help of artist Pierre Du Simitiere and a 28 year old heraldic expert, William Barton. The fact is that little exists on his identity and he is credited for drawing the surviving, first United States, Great Seal proposed seal design that only a skilled artist could make. Not just any skilled artist, but a skilled engraver, who had years of experience and knowledge in this field, trained from birth, who presented this Scottish design, a Jacobite design in fact! The person behind all the designs and the making of the seals was Robert Scot of Edinburgh. Note: The uniformed man is wearing a Scottish Jacobite flower and the flute. According to a tradition widely honored in New England, when the colonial militias moved down from Punkatasset Hill to confront the British troops at Concordʼs North Bridge on April 19, 1775, they marched to a tune called “The White Cockade.” If indeed they did, it was a bold taunt of defiance.

  • Recent Studies of Book Illustration and Engraving, Including Cartography, 1985–2016 This Bibliography Surveys Scholarship Publ
    Recent Studies of Book Illustration and Engraving, including Cartography, 1985–2016 This bibliography surveys scholarship published between 1985–2016 on engraving, including illustrations, prints, and emblems, as well as cartography, during the long eighteenth century (roughly 1650–1820). The focus is on Europe and the Americas, but some of Asian developments, particularly Japanese, have been included. The bibliography is most inclusive for the years 1990-2014, in consequence of my compiling studies from those years for Section 1— "Printing and Bibliographical Studies"—of the ECCB: The Eighteenth-Century Current Bibliography. A shorter version of this list without cartographic materials appeared in The East- Central Intelligencer, n.s. 15, no. 1 (January 2001), 58-77. Then an intermediate version appeared at Kevin Berland's C18-L website. During 2015–17, I expanded the list four times, with it now reaching 236 pages in typescript. The bibliography includes cartography (particularly the printed products of map-making), but excellent annual surveys of cartographic publications have been compiled by Francis Herbert, Wouter Bracke, and Nick Millea for Imago Mundi (entered under their names below). It lists dissertations and reviews for books. Focused on printed sources, it fails to note some valuable electronic sources, such as Juliette Sodt's website on illustration in botanical books, <www. library.wwu.edu/ref/subjguides/BOTILL.htm>, and many exhibition catalogues posted on the web by museums (only some recent exhibitions are included). Also, some studies in my bibliography of children’s literature at BibSite, as those on chapbooks, could also have been placed into this bibliography on engraving but were not.
