EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts King Edward I of England removing the Stone from Scone, an act that holds immense significance for both Scotland and England. The Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, is a symbol of Scottish monarchy and has been used in coronation ceremonies for centuries. Its removal by Edward I in 1296 was seen as a direct challenge to Scottish sovereignty and sparked outrage among the Scots. The artist beautifully captures the tension and drama surrounding this event. We see King Edward I standing tall with determination as he lifts the stone from its resting place. His expression reveals his unwavering resolve to assert English dominance over Scotland. This print was created for David Hume's edition of "The History of England" published in 1812. It serves as a visual representation of one chapter in this rich historical narrative. As we gaze upon this engraving, we cannot help but be reminded of the complex relationship between these two nations throughout history. It is a poignant reminder that even objects can hold great power and meaning within our collective memory. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an exquisite piece that not only showcases artistic talent but also invites us to delve deeper into our shared past.
