EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact: a letter written by John Maitland, 1st Duke of Lauderdale, to Sir Robert Moray on the 2nd of November in 1669. The letter was composed at Holyrood House in Edinburgh and holds immense importance due to its contents. In this correspondence, Maitland encloses the Act of Supremacy, which he intended to present to King Charles II. The vivid colors and intricate handwriting captured in this facsimile bring forth the essence of the seventeenth century. As Secretary of State and High Commissioner of Scotland during that time, Maitland played a crucial role in politics and governance. In his letter, Maitland provides graphic details about the preparation process for the Act of Supremacy as well as an account of the debate it sparked among the Lords of Articles at Edinburgh. This document sheds light on political dynamics during this era and offers insights into monarchy restoration efforts. The signature prominently displayed adds authenticity to this remarkable piece. It serves as a reminder not only of Maitland's influence but also highlights his connection with prominent figures such as King Charles II and Sir Robert Moray. As we delve into this extraordinary snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when correspondences like these shaped nations' destinies and influenced political landscapes.
