EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Elphinstone, Bishop of Aberdeen, in all his regal glory. Created in the 1790s by an anonymous Scottish artist, this engraving captures the essence of a man who was not only a prominent clergyman but also a respected statesman. William Elphinstone's influence extended far beyond his role as bishop. As founder of the University of Aberdeen, he left an indelible mark on Scotland's educational landscape. This print pays homage to his significant contributions and serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy. The bishop is depicted with utmost reverence, donning his mitre and holding a croisier while engaged in prayer. His half-length portrait exudes authority and wisdom, reflecting the esteemed position he held within both religious and political circles. Clad in an elegant cloak that drapes over one shoulder, Elphinstone emanates grace and dignity. The inclusion of his coat of arms further emphasizes his noble lineage and status. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time when power and piety converged seamlessly. It serves as a testament to William Elphinstone's lasting impact on Scottish society and stands as a tribute to one man's unwavering devotion to faith, education, and public service.
