EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print captures a historic moment in Edinburgh's rich history - the people of the city escorting the Duke of Hamilton to Holyrood Palace. The illustration, taken from Cassells Illustrated History of England, showcases a significant event during the 17th century. The Duke of Hamilton depicted in this engraving is James Hamilton, who held both the titles of 4th Duke of Hamilton and 1st Duke of Brandon. Known for his refusal to attend the final vote on Acts of Union, which aimed to unite England and Scotland, he was also considered one of the strongest contenders for the Scottish throne. In this scene filled with celebration and political significance, we witness an enthusiastic crowd welcoming their esteemed duke. The image portrays a sense of unity as people gather around him while he travels in a grand sedan chair. Waving flags and cheering voices fill the air as they accompany him towards Holyrood Palace. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into Edinburgh's past, highlighting its deep-rooted connection with monarchy and politics during this era. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, public opinion played an essential role in shaping historical events. Preserved within private collections today, this photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance in understanding Scotland's political landscape during the seventeenth century.
