EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Wightmans Attempt to Assassinate Wishart" takes us back in time to a significant moment in Scottish history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal event that occurred during the era of The Scots Worthies. The scene depicted here is both dramatic and intense. We witness an assassination attempt on Wishart, a prominent figure whose influence reverberated throughout Scotland. The artist's attention to detail brings every element of this historical event to life; from the expressions on the faces of those involved, to the intricate period costumes worn by each character. As we delve into Scottish history through this image, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience displayed by individuals who fought for their beliefs. This particular incident sheds light on Wightman's desperate act against Wishart, showcasing how political tensions ran high during this tumultuous period. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied to this print, its clarity and vibrancy have been preserved for contemporary audiences.
