EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense turmoil in the historic city of Edinburgh, Scotland. The year is 1637, and a riotous crowd has cornered a bishop on the steps of the council house. Their anger stems from the bishop's attempts to introduce Lauds Liturgy into Scottish churches, an act that has deeply offended the Presbyterian community. The wood engraving, created by an English artist around 1860, beautifully depicts this chaotic scene. The architecture of the council house stands tall in the background as men and women fill the streets with their fury. A brave guard tries to protect the pursued bishop while wielding his stick against those who threaten him. Intriguingly, amidst all this commotion, one can spot a girl holding a feathered hat and even a feline observer perched on top of a nearby building. These details add depth to an already powerful image. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of Scotland's resistance against religious imposition during this period. It showcases both the strength of public sentiment and how far people were willing to go to defend their beliefs. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intentions but rather as an opportunity for viewers to appreciate its artistic value and reflect upon this significant event in Edinburgh's history.
