EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph, titled "Scotland's Story: The Last Hours of Argyll, 1685," transports us back to a pivotal moment in Scottish history. The image depicts the dramatic scene of the final moments of Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll, who was executed for his role in leading a rebellion against King James VII. The artist from the English School in the 20th century skillfully captures the tension and emotion of this historical event. The use of vibrant colours adds depth and intensity to the portrayal of this significant chapter in Scotland's past. Originally part of a set of cigarette cards on Scotland's Story issued by Stephen Mitchell in 1929, this print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. It offers viewers a glimpse into the struggles and sacrifices made by individuals like Argyll in pursuit of freedom and justice. As we gaze upon this powerful illustration, we are reminded of the resilience and bravery exhibited by those who fought for their beliefs. It is a testament to Scotland's rich heritage and enduring spirit that continues to inspire generations today.
