EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving titled "Fol 23 recto, The Navigation of King James V, Round Scotland, the Orkney Isles" by Nicolas de Nicolay. Measuring at 23.2x16.3 cm, this artwork is housed in The University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The engraving depicts an extraordinary journey undertaken by King James V of Scotland around his kingdom and the enchanting Hebrides and Orkney Isles. Guided by the skilled pilot Alexander Lindsay, this exploration was a testament to both royal ambition and Scottish maritime expertise. Nicolay's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving; from the majestic ships sailing through turbulent waters to the rugged landscapes that serve as a backdrop for this historic voyage. The French text accompanying the image adds an air of authenticity and intrigue. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous chapter in Scottish history - a king's determination to explore uncharted territories within his own realm. This print not only captures an exquisite work of art but also invites us to delve into centuries-old tales of adventure and discovery. It serves as a reminder that even within familiar borders lies endless potential for exploration and growth.
