EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a portrait of King James the Fifth, exuding an air of melancholy and sadness. The detailed print, part of a private collection, was created by an English School artist and is reminiscent of a bygone era. The image is believed to have been originally featured in "Stories Selected from the History of Scotland for Children" published in 1824 by J Harris. It offers a glimpse into Scottish history through its portrayal of this enigmatic monarch. Set against the backdrop of what appears to be a grand bedroom or great chamber within one of Scotland's stately homes or townhouses, the atmosphere is both regal and somber. The room features exquisite furniture including an impressive bed that dominates the space. As we observe this scene, it becomes evident that there is more than meets the eye. Perhaps King James V received distressing news delivered by a messenger depicted in this artwork. His downcast expression suggests deep unhappiness or even feelings of being forlorn. This engraving not only captures historical significance but also evokes emotions through its masterful execution. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold positions of power can experience moments of sorrow and introspection. With its rich historical context and intricate details, this print transports us back to 19th-century Scotland while leaving us with lingering questions about King James V's state-of-mind during his reign.
