EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Renwick, a significant figure from Scottish history. The portrait, taken from John Howie's renowned book "The Scots Worthies According to Howies Second Edition" offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable man. Published in 1879 by an anonymous English School artist, the lithograph beautifully captures Renwick's youthful profile. James Renwick (1662-88) was a Scottish minister and one of the last Covenanter martyrs. His unwavering commitment to his Presbyterian beliefs led him to be hanged for treason during a tumultuous time in Scotland's history. This haunting image immortalizes his memory as it portrays him wearing a clerical collar, symbolizing his role as both preacher and cleric. Renwick's bust is depicted with meticulous detail, emphasizing not only his physical features but also the wooden mechanical mechanism behind him. This subtle inclusion serves as a metaphor for Renwick's steadfastness and resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of Renwick's sacrifice and dedication to his faith. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of persecution, individuals like James Renwick stood firm in their convictions, leaving an indelible mark on history.
