EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Comyn Stabbed By Bruce, 1902" captures a dramatic moment in Scottish history. Depicting the fateful encounter between John III Red Comyn and Robert I of Scotland, this artwork by Patten Wilson brings to life the intense emotions and political turmoil of the Wars of Scottish Independence. John III Red Comyn, known as the Red Comyn, was a prominent Scottish nobleman who held significant power during the Second Interregnum from 1296 to 1306. However, his fate took a tragic turn when he was fatally stabbed by Robert I at the Greyfriars church in Dumfries. The image shows them standing face-to-face before an altar, with Comyn dressed in regal attire and Bruce wielding a menacing dagger. Wilson's colorized print adds depth to this historical moment, highlighting both the vibrant tartan clothing worn by these men and their contrasting emotions. The composition evokes tension and impending violence as they confront each other amidst Scotland's war-torn landscape. This artwork is based on Charles Dickens' book "A Childs History of England" which aimed to educate young readers about their nation's past. Through Wilson's skillful engraving technique, this scene becomes more than just an illustration; it becomes a metaphor for warfare and political struggle that defined Scotland in the early 14th century. As we admire this powerful image today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for independence and honor centuries ago.
