EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the indomitable spirit of Queen Margaret, widow of James IV, as she fearlessly defies the nobles. The image transports us back to a tumultuous period in Scottish history, where power struggles and political intrigue were rife. Queen Margaret's unwavering determination is palpable in her regal stance and piercing gaze. Clad in opulent attire befitting her royal status, she stands resolute against a backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, symbolizing her stronghold over Scotland. The artist Alfred Pearse masterfully depicts this pivotal moment from Scottish history with intricate detail and skillful shading. Every line etched into the print tells a story of defiance and strength. This lithograph is an illustration taken from "A History of the Scottish People" by Thomas Thomson, published by Blackie around 1890. It serves as a testament to Queen Margaret's enduring legacy and her refusal to bow down to the whims of powerful nobles. As we admire this historical artwork, we are reminded that even in times when societal norms dictated subservience for widowed queens like Margaret, there were those who dared to challenge conventions and fight for their rightful place on the throne. This print encapsulates not only a remarkable woman but also an era defined by resilience and tenacity.
