EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the beginning of the Riot in the High Church, Edinburgh. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a chaotic scene unfolding within the walls of the High Church as tensions rise and conflict erupts. This dramatic illustration was originally featured in John Tillotson's "Stories of the Wars, 1574-1658" published by S O Beeton in 1867. With its digitally cleaned appearance, this print allows us to delve into Scotland's turbulent past and witness one of many clashes between religious factions during this time period. Known as Covenanters, these devout Scots were fighting for their religious freedom against perceived tyranny from England. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to Edinburgh where war loomed on every corner. The riot depicted here signifies not only the beginning but also a turning point in Scottish history - it symbolizes resistance and defiance against oppression. Through this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate both the artistic skill employed by the unknown engraver and gain insight into an important chapter that shaped our modern world.
