EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in Scottish history - the Earl of Mar raising the Jacobite standard in 1715. The unknown artist skillfully portrays John Erskine, the Earl of Mar, as he defiantly stands amidst the rugged highlands, ready to lead his rebellion against the Hanoverians. Dressed in traditional Scottish attire, with a kilt and sporran, the noble Earl exudes an air of aristocracy and nobility. His tam o'shanter hat sits proudly atop his head while he holds a trumpet in one hand, symbolizing his call to arms. Behind him flies the rebellious flag that represents hope for those who oppose foreign rule. The dramatic landscape of mountains serves as a backdrop to this historic scene, emphasizing both the beauty and harshness of Scotland's terrain. In this image lies not only a depiction of rebellion but also a representation of Scottish identity and pride. The engraving transports us back to an era when loyalty was tested and alliances were forged through bloodshed. It reminds us that even in times of adversity, there are individuals willing to stand up for what they believe is right. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Scotland's rich history and its people's unwavering spirit.
