EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Edinburgh After Flodden" by William Rainey depicts a poignant scene from British history. The image showcases the aftermath of the Battle of Flodden, where England and Scotland clashed in 1513. In this evocative artwork, we see a lone man on his weary steed, both bearing the marks of battle. The man's face reflects exhaustion and pain, while his wounded horse stands as a symbol of their shared struggle. The battered harness serves as a reminder of the brutalities endured during this historic conflict. Through Rainey's skilled use of color lithography, he brings to life an emotional moment that resonates with viewers. This artwork was created for "Poetry Of Empire" an anthology edited by John and Jean Lang around 1910. It beautifully captures the essence of Aytoun's poem about Edinburgh after the battle: "For they see in battered harness, Only one hard-stricken man; And his weary steed is wounded, And his cheek is pale and wan". As we gaze upon this powerful image, it transports us back in time to witness the physical toll war takes on individuals and nations alike. It reminds us not only of our historical past but also prompts contemplation about sacrifice and resilience. Through Rainey's skillful interpretation and Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this print continues to serve as a testament to our shared human experiences throughout history.
