EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the momentous occasion of the ratification of the Treaty of Perpetual Peace between Scotland and England, signed on the 17th of December, 1502. The treaty, which marked the end of long-standing hostilities between the two nations, was sealed with a marriage contract between King James IV of Scotland and Margaret Tudor, daughter of King Henry VII of England. The image captures the solemnity and grandeur of the event, with both monarchs seated at a long table, surrounded by their respective nobles and dignitaries. King James IV, dressed in his royal robes, holds a quill pen in one hand, ready to affix his signature to the document, while Margaret Tudor, wearing a richly-embroidered gown, looks on intently. The document itself, which lies open on the table, bears the seal of the Scottish king. The Treaty of Perpetual Peace was a significant event in the 16th century, marking the beginning of a period of relative peace and stability between Scotland and England. It also paved the way for the Tudor dynasty's influence in Scotland, with Margaret Tudor becoming Queen Consort and later regent for her son, James V. The document itself, now known as the "E39" treaty, is an invaluable historical artifact, providing insights into the political alliances and diplomacy of the time. This print, with its intricate details and evocative atmosphere, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of royal intrigue, political maneuvering, and the forging of lasting alliances.
