EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history as Jenny Geddes fearlessly hurls a stool at the head of the surpliced dean. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the dramatic scene from Scottish history. The image depicts Jenny Geddes, a legendary figure among Covenanters, protesting against religious reforms imposed by King Charles I during a service at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. Filled with righteous anger and frustration, she takes matters into her own hands and launches a wooden stool towards the unsuspecting dean. Jenny's defiant act symbolizes the resistance of many Scots to what they saw as attempts to undermine their Presbyterian beliefs. This incident is said to have sparked riots and ultimately contributed to Scotland's struggle for religious freedom. The engraving itself is beautifully crafted, capturing every detail of this historic event. The digital cleaning has enhanced its clarity while preserving its authenticity. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's courageous stand against oppression. As part of private collection now made public through Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images, this print serves as both an educational tool and a reminder of how individuals can shape history through acts of defiance.
