EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Seal of William the Lion, also known as William I, a prominent figure in Scottish history. King of the Scots from 1165 until his death in 1214, William was famously nicknamed "the Rough" or Garbh due to his strong leadership style and military prowess. The image is taken from Iconographia Scotica or Portraits of Illustrious Persons of Scotland, published in 1797. It captures the intricately designed seal that symbolizes William's reign and authority. The seal features a majestic lion, representing strength and power, which was a common motif used by medieval monarchs. William's rule during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries marked an important period for Scotland's development as an independent nation. His efforts to consolidate royal power and expand territorial control laid the foundation for future Scottish kings. This engraving provides us with a glimpse into early eighteenth-century artistic representation of historical figures. The attention to detail in this portrait reflects both the skill of the engraver and their dedication to capturing William's regal presence. As we admire this image today, it serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich heritage and its influential rulers like King William I - an embodiment of strength, resilience, and determination.
