EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cardinal George Innes, in white robes and scarlet cloak and cap, 1798" transports us back to the 15th century. The image depicts Cardinal George Innes, a Scottish cleric and renowned writer of his time. Dressed in elegant white robes adorned with a scarlet cloak and cap, he exudes an air of intellectualism. Innes was not only a priest but also an author who penned a significant history of his own order, the Trinitarians or Red Friars, known as De Funatione suae Ordinis. His contributions to literature were highly regarded during this period. The artist Thomas Trotter skillfully engraved this portrait from an original picture owned by the Society of Antiquaries Edinburgh. This copperplate engraving is part of John Smith's Iconographia Scotica collection published in London in 1798. The print captures Cardinal Innes' dignified presence as he gazes directly at the viewer. It offers us a glimpse into the world of religious orders and their important role within Christianity during that era. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich cultural heritage while showcasing the talent of both its subject and the artist behind it. The fine details captured through engravings like these allow us to appreciate the artistry that existed centuries ago.
