EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Saint Margaret, Queen of Scotland" transports us back to the early 17th century. Created by Marten Baes, a Netherlandish artist known for his intricate engravings, this print captures the essence of Saint Margaret's life and legacy. Saint Margaret of Scotland was an English princess who fled to Scotland with her family following the Norman conquest of England in 1066. She married Malcolm III of Scotland and became his queen consort. Known for her piety and charitable works, she established a ferry across the Firth of Forth for pilgrims traveling to Dunfermline Abbey. In this oval-shaped portrait, we see Saint Margaret standing gracefully in her regal attire. Adorned with a crown and fur-lined robe, she exudes royalty and elegance. Her pious nature is evident as she is depicted praying fervently with her hands clasped together. The engraving also includes symbolic elements such as a halo above Saint Margaret's head, signifying her sanctity. An inscription at the bottom provides historical context about her life and achievements. The background features a serene town landscape with trees adding depth to the composition. This artwork beautifully captures both the medieval Christian devotion associated with Saint Margaret as well as elements from Anglo-Saxon culture. Overall, this exquisite print offers us a glimpse into the life of an influential queen whose faith and compassion left an indelible mark on Scottish history.
