EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "The Macmillion" or "Carnegie's Million," depicts the renowned Scottish-American industrialist, Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), in an iconic pose as he turns his back on a sea of coins, notes, and banknotes, symbolizing his substantial wealth. Dressed in the traditional Scottish attire, including a kilt, sporran, and tartan, Carnegie is shown with a determined expression as he drops a large pile of money over the upturned mortar boards of four Scottish universities: Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Aberdeen, and Glasgow. This act of philanthropy marked Carnegie's generous donation of 2 million pounds for the establishment of free education at these esteemed institutions. Carnegie, an American industrialist, business magnate, and philanthropist, led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century and was one of the wealthiest people in the world during the Edwardian era. This cartoon, created in 1901, captures the essence of Carnegie's significant financial contribution to Scottish education during the early 1900s. The image is a testament to Carnegie's commitment to learning and the transformative power of philanthropy. The cartoonist, Bernard Partridge, masterfully conveys the grandeur of the scene with the use of stars and stripes in the background, emphasizing the American roots of the benefactor. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of wealth, power, and education during the early 20th century.
