EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous event in Scottish history - the laying of the foundation stone of the Wallace Monument at Stirling. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the impressive display of Swords of Scottish Heroes, proudly exhibited during the ceremony. The swords symbolize bravery and valor, each one representing a legendary figure from Scotland's past. Among them are King Robert Bruce, Black Douglas, Sir William Wallace, Sir John de Graeme, and Sir Richard Lundin - names that evoke images of courage and resistance against oppression. The scene is filled with movement and action as members of the ceremonial party gather around to witness this historic occasion. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and agitation as onlookers marvel at these powerful symbols of national identity. Set against the backdrop of Abbey Craig in Stirling, where this iconic monument stands tall today, this engraving transports us back to 1861 when it was first published in The Illustrated London News. It serves as a reminder not only of Scotland's rich heritage but also its ongoing struggle for independence. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for these swords that once belonged to Scottish heroes who fought fearlessly for their land.
