EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LAUDs LITURGY, 1637" captures a significant moment in Scottish history. The image showcases the intense atmosphere inside an Edinburgh church as the new Scottish prayer book, Lauds Liturgy, is being read for the first time in 1637. This seemingly innocent act would go on to provoke rioting and ultimately lead to the Bishops Wars with England. The engraving depicts a scene filled with tension and anticipation. A prominent figure stands at a podium, assumedly a bishop or preacher, reading from the controversial prayer book. Surrounding him are individuals representing different factions within society - Puritans, ministers, and Presbyterian followers among them. The danger of this moment is palpable; it symbolizes not only religious conflict but also political turmoil between Scotland and England during this period. The clash between the Church of England's influence and Scotland's desire for independence is evident in every line etched into this engraving. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by contemporary British artists, we are transported back to that pivotal year of 1637 when one simple act ignited a series of events that would shape both nations' futures. It serves as a reminder of how religion can be both unifying and divisive forces within society – capable of sparking riots and even wars. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared history while appreciating its artistic value beyond commercial use.
