EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Thomas Trotter depicts James Erskine, the 6th Earl of Buchan, a prominent courtier in 17th century Scotland. With his long hair and Van Dyke beard, he exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. The broad lace collar over his doublet adds to his regal appearance. James Erskine was born in 1615 as the eldest son of John Erskine, Earl of Mar, and Marie Stewart, daughter of the Duke of Lennox. He belonged to a distinguished aristocratic family with strong ties to Scottish nobility. Unfortunately, his life was cut short when he passed away in 1640. The original painting from which this engraving is derived is currently held by the Earl of Buchan. It showcases not only James Erskine's physical features but also serves as a testament to his status within society during that time period. Thomas Trotter's copperplate engraving beautifully captures the essence of James Erskine's portrait while adding intricate details through delicate lines and shading techniques. This black-and-white print allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and gain insight into the fashion trends and societal norms prevalent during this era. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse into the life of an influential figure who played a significant role within Scottish aristocracy centuries ago.
