EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century portrait print captures the formidable figure of John Graham of Claverhouse, also known as Bonnie Dundee. As second in command of the Scottish force sent to aid James II's efforts against William of Orange in 1688, Dundee played a crucial role in this historic conflict. The artist, Sir Peter Lely, skillfully depicts Dundee with his commanding presence and distinctive hairstyle. Dundee's loyalty to James II was rewarded when he was made Viscount Dundee by the king himself. Following James' flight from Scotland, Dundee valiantly raised Scottish forces to support their exiled monarch and restore him to power. Tragically, his life was cut short during the Battle of Killiecrankie. In this monochrome engraving, we see a glimpse into the character and determination that defined Bonnie Dundee. His piercing gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to his cause and country. This portrait serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers like Dundee during this tumultuous period in British history. The print collector responsible for preserving this image has done an exceptional job capturing both the physical likeness and spirit of John Graham of Claverhouse. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this artwork offers us a window into one man's pivotal role within a larger narrative of political upheaval and military prowess.
