1745 Pretender Rebellion Stuart Welcomes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the historic moment when Mrs. Skyring, a prominent figure in Edinburgh society, extends a warm welcome to the Young Pretender, Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, upon his arrival in Scotland in 1745. The 45 Rebellion, named after the year of the uprising, was an attempt by the exiled Stuart dynasty to reclaim the British throne from the House of Hanover. Mrs. Skyring, portrayed in the print as a gracious and elegant hostess, is shown extending her hand in greeting to the Young Pretender as he disembarks from a small boat. The Scottish landscape in the background, with its rugged cliffs and stormy sea, underscores the tumultuous political climate of the time. The print also depicts a large crowd of onlookers, including soldiers and townspeople, who have gathered to catch a glimpse of the charismatic leader. The 45 Rebellion, which ultimately failed, marked a significant turning point in Scottish and British history. The defeat of the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden in 1746 led to the end of the Stuart claim to the throne and the consolidation of Hanoverian rule in Britain. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, when the fates of nations hung in the balance and the course of history was about to be irrevocably altered.
