EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Edward II gathered an army and fought a battle at Bannockburn 1314 AD" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by the talented artist John Harris Valda, this print captures the essence of a significant event that unfolded centuries ago. Intriguingly set against the backdrop of Scotland's historic Bannockburn battlefield, this artwork depicts Edward II leading his English army into a fierce confrontation with Robert the Bruce's Scottish forces. The year was 1314 AD, and tensions between these two nations were reaching their peak. Valda's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The soldiers' armor gleams under the sunlight as they prepare for what would become an iconic clash. Weapons are raised high, ready to strike with deadly precision. This image serves as a testament to both the bravery and ferocity displayed by warriors on both sides. As we gaze upon this historical scene frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at its significance. It symbolizes not only a turning point in Scottish independence but also showcases the resilience and determination of those who fought for their beliefs. Preserved within private collections for decades, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to delve into our shared past and reflect upon how it has shaped our present-day world. Let us cherish such prints as bridges connecting us with history's untold stories.
