EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a momentous historical event from the 18th century, as Mrs Skyring extends a warm welcome to the Young Pretender. The elderly Scottish woman stands proudly in her traditional Jacobean attire, embodying the spirit of her country and its fierce loyalty to the Stuart cause. In this engraving by TE Nicholson, we witness a scene filled with emotion and significance. It is an artistic representation taken from Cassells Illustrated History of England, volume IV - a publication that sought to preserve important moments in British history for future generations. The image transports us back to the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-1746 when Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or the Young Pretender, attempted to reclaim his family's throne. Mrs Skyring's gesture symbolizes not only her personal support for Charles Edward but also represents the unwavering devotion of many Scots towards their exiled prince. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this historic encounter between two influential figures. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Scotland's rich heritage and its enduring struggle for independence during turbulent times. This remarkable artwork by TE Nicholson serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical importance. It allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the resilience and determination exhibited by those who fought for what they believed in.
