EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Grave Effigy of Robert Scott, Army Officer and Military Inventor, St. Mary Lambeth This copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith and based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, depicts the intricately detailed grave effigy of Robert Scott. Scott, an army officer who served in the Swedish and Danish military, was also a renowned military inventor. He passed away in 1631 and is buried at St. Mary Lambeth in London. The effigy showcases Scott in full armor, lying on a bed of intricately carved foliage. His helmet rests beside him, and his gauntleted hands are crossed over his chest. A skull lies at his feet, symbolizing the transience of life. A deer, a common heraldic symbol of strength and agility, is depicted at his side. The inscription on the effigy reads "Hic Jacet Alicia Filia Simonis De La Kingeth Suff. Obiit 18 Junii Anno 1573," translating to "Here lies Alicia, daughter of Simon de la Kingeth, Suffolk, who died on the 18th of June, 1573." The old vestry door, with its ornate armorial decorations, can be seen in the background, adding to the historical context of the image. The grave is located within the churchyard of St. Mary Lambeth, a historic church that has stood since medieval times. The church, which is situated in the Le Savoy area of London, is known for its rich history and architectural significance. The copperplate engraving, produced by J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco in London in 1791, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the intricacies of the grave effigy and the historical context of the site. The image is a valuable historical and architectural record, offering insights into the lives of those who lived in London during the 16th and 18th centuries.
