EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic tale of Lady Bruce, sister of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland. Confined in a cage and exposed on the battlements of Roxburgh Castle by order of Edward I, King of Scotland, Lady Bruce's plight is brought to life through this powerful image. The print is taken from "A New, Universal and Impartial History of England" by George Frederick Raymond. The scene depicted showcases the exterior of Roxburgh Castle against a backdrop of breathtaking Scottish countryside. In this somber setting, Lady Bruce stands confined within her cage while a crowd gathers below. Men, women, and children look on with mixed emotions - some curious, others sympathetic - as they witness this act of humiliation. The monochrome composition adds an air of solemnity to the image; black and white tones emphasize the gravity and timelessness of Lady Bruce's confinement during the 14th century. This historical context reminds us that even in the 18th century when this print was created, stories from centuries past continued to captivate audiences. Through this poignant photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's struggle against oppression amidst political turmoil. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared history but also highlights themes such as power dynamics between nations and gender inequality that continue to resonate today.
