EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print titled "Robert the Bruce with the spider that inspired him to try again to defeat the English" transports us back in time to 14th century Great Britain. The image, created by Paul Hardy in the 19th century, depicts a significant moment in Scottish history. In this scene, we see Robert the Bruce, a legendary figure and King of Scotland during that era. He is shown inside a straw house, seeking refuge and contemplating his next move after facing defeat at the hands of the English. As he sits deep in thought, a small spider dangles from its web above him. The spider's presence may seem insignificant at first glance; however, it holds great symbolism. According to legend, as Robert watched this tiny creature repeatedly attempt to spin its web despite failing multiple times due to adverse weather conditions, he found inspiration within himself. Just like the persistent spider before him, Robert realized that setbacks were not reasons for surrender but opportunities for renewed determination. This encounter motivated him to rise once more and lead his people against their oppressors. The litho print beautifully captures this iconic moment from British history and reminds us of how legends are born out of resilience and unwavering spirit. It serves as a testament not only to Robert's bravery but also as an enduring symbol of hope for all who face adversity.
