EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in Scottish history - the Death of James II. of Scotland. The image, captured around 1880, depicts an episode from the Capture of Roxburgh in 1460. It is an engraving taken from the book "British Battles on Land and Sea" by James Grant. In this scene, we witness a dramatic explosion within the fortified walls of Roxburgh Castle, as cannons roar and smoke billows into the sky. People gather around, their faces filled with shock and awe at the tragic demise of their monarch. The imposing castle stands tall in the background, symbolizing both strength and vulnerability. The print transports us to a time when Britain was embroiled in wars for Scottish independence. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by our ancestors and highlights how battles shaped our nation's destiny. With its monochrome aesthetic, this historic artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia while capturing every intricate detail with precision. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to fifteenth-century Scotland where kings ruled over castles and armies clashed on battlefields. This print not only commemorates an important event but also showcases British artistry at its finest. Its historical significance makes it a valuable piece for collectors or anyone interested in delving into our rich past.
