EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as James IV of Scotland, surrounded by his council, prepares for the fateful Battle of Flodden in 1513. Illustrated by John Faed and featured in Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation from around 1923, this lithograph offers a glimpse into the intense atmosphere before one of Scotland's most devastating defeats. The image showcases James IV deep in thought, seeking counsel from his trusted advisors within the grandeur of a palace setting. Clad in armor befitting a king and seated upon an ornate throne, he exudes both regality and vulnerability. The castle looming behind him serves as a reminder of the power struggles that defined this era. As plans are discussed and strategies formed, tension fills the air. This scene encapsulates not only the weighty decisions faced by monarchs but also highlights their reliance on wise counsel during times of war. It is said that great leaders are forged through adversity, yet tragically for James IV, defeat awaited him on Flodden Field just days later. This historic artwork from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect upon an important chapter in Scottish history while marveling at Faed's attention to detail and ability to capture emotion within each brushstroke. As we gaze at this engraving today, it serves as a poignant reminder of how even mighty rulers can fall victim to circumstance and fate.
