EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of "The collapse of the bridge during the Battle of Stirling Bridge" in 1297. Engraved by Matthew White Ridley, this artwork showcases a historical event that took place during the First War of Scottish Independence. On September 11th, 1297, Andrew Moray and William Wallace led their forces to victory against the combined English army commanded by John de Warenne and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling on the River Forth. The battle was fierce, with soldiers from both sides engaging in a brutal clash. In this image, we witness the pivotal moment when the bridge succumbs to intense pressure and collapses under its own weight. Soldiers can be seen falling into the river as chaos ensues around them. The broken structure symbolizes not only physical destruction but also represents a significant turning point in Scottish history. The engraving beautifully captures the tension and desperation felt by both armies as they confront each other on opposite sides of what was once a vital crossing point. It serves as a reminder of Scotland's resilience and determination to fight for independence against formidable odds. This remarkable piece from Peter Newark Pictures allows us to delve into history and appreciate how even seemingly insignificant events can shape nations' destinies.
