EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Centenary of the Battle of Prestonpans" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The image showcases various elements that symbolize the events and characters associated with this historic battle. In the foreground, we see a group of soldiers engaged in combat under the cover of darkness. Their swords raised high, they embody bravery and determination as they fight for their cause. A bonnet lies on the ground nearby, perhaps discarded during the chaos of battle. The print also highlights important artifacts from this period. A worn signet ring and an autograph belonging to Sir John Cope serve as reminders of key figures involved in this conflict. Additionally, an autograph attributed to Prince Charles reflects his role as a pretender during the Jacobite Rising. The architecture depicted hints at significant locations tied to this event. We catch glimpses of Holyrood House and Colonel Gardiner's house, both known for their historical significance. As we explore further into the scene, we notice other details such as a dirk (a traditional Scottish dagger) and what appears to be Pretenders' Cup – objects that add depth and authenticity to this portrayal. Overall, this engraving commemorates not only the centenary anniversary but also pays homage to those who fought bravely on both sides during one of Scotland's defining battles – The Battle of Prestonpans.
