EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Robert Leighton, a prominent Scottish prelate from the 17th century. The artist, S Freeman, skillfully captures Leighton's commanding presence and intellectual demeanor in this remarkable portrait. Leighton, born in 1611 and passing away in 1684, held the esteemed position of Bishop of Dunblane starting from 1661. This engraving is taken from Robert Chambers' renowned publication "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" published by Blackie and Son in 1870. The image transports us back to a time when religion played a central role in society, particularly within Scotland's Presbyterian community. Leighton was not only recognized for his religious leadership but also for his involvement in politics as a Covenanter during turbulent times. As we gaze upon this striking portrayal, we are reminded of the significant influence that figures like Leighton had on shaping Scotland's religious landscape during the Stuart era. His commitment to his faith and dedication to serving both God and country make him an inspiring example even today. This print serves as a testament to Leighton's enduring legacy as well as an artistic representation of Scottish history at its finest. It allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the contributions made by individuals who have left an indelible mark on their communities through their unwavering devotion and leadership.
