EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the dramatic moment when Nelson's Monument, standing tall on Glasgow Green, was struck by lightning in 1810. Created by John Knox after the event, this print offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring power of nature and its ability to humble even the grandest human creations. Erected in 1806 as a memorial to Admiral Horatio Nelson, who had passed away the previous year, Nelson's Monument stood as a symbol of Scotland's admiration for this legendary naval hero. However, just four years later, it fell victim to an intense storm that unleashed a bolt of lightning upon its pinnacle. The top six meters collapsed under the force but were eventually restored so that today it continues to stand proudly. The image showcases not only the destructive force of nature but also highlights humanity's resilience and determination in preserving our historical landmarks. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of chaos and destruction, there is always hope for restoration and renewal. Nelson's Monument remains an iconic sight within Glasgow Green park—a testament to both Admiral Nelson's legacy and Scotland's enduring spirit. This lithograph allows us to witness firsthand the extraordinary event that left its mark on history while inviting contemplation about our place within nature’s vast power.
