EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Steel Hand of Carslogie" an engraving created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts a remarkable prosthetic hand made of steel. Legend has it that this iron hand was specially commissioned by Robert the Bruce for De Clephanes, a brave warrior who lost his left hand during one of Bruce's battles. This mechanical marvel served as a replacement limb, enabling De Clephanes to continue fighting alongside his comrades.
