EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures James I of England and I of Scotland, also known as James VI of Scotland, in regal attire, symbolizing his dual monarchy over both nations. The year is 1625, and the King is shown holding the orb and sceptre, traditional symbols of monarchical power and authority. The orb represents the earth and the sceptre, the power to rule. The magnificent Tudor-style crown sits atop James's head, signifying his royal lineage and sovereignty. The King wears the Order of the Garter, the most prestigious and oldest chivalric order in England, which is depicted as a blue ribbon with a white rose emblem. The Order symbolizes chivalry, honor, and loyalty. The inscription below the image reads, "Peace is Blessed," reflecting the importance of the peaceful union between England and Scotland under James's rule. James I ascended to the English throne in 1603, following the death of Queen Elizabeth I. Born in Scotland, he had already ruled as King of Scotland since 1567. The union of the English and Scottish crowns under one monarch brought an end to centuries of conflict between the two nations. James's reign was marked by a period of relative peace and stability, making the inscription all the more fitting. This historical print, created in 1566, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British history, showcasing the symbolism and significance of the monarchy during the early modern period. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of unity and the role of the monarch in maintaining peace and order within a kingdom.
