EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting moment from history - the public humiliation of Lady Mary Bruce at Roxburgh Castle in 1773. Imprisoned for four long years during the First War of Scottish Independence, Lady Mary was subjected to this degrading spectacle by order of Edward I, King of England. The image, originally engraved by Samuel Wale, is featured in "A New and Complete History of England" by Temple Sydney. In this powerful illustration, we see Lady Mary confined within a cage against the backdrop of the imposing castle walls. Her delicate figure stands out amidst the ruggedness of her surroundings. Dressed in traditional clothing, she represents both vulnerability and resilience in the face of adversity. The engraving evokes a sense of historical significance as it transports us back to a tumultuous period between two nations. It serves as a reminder that even noble figures like Lady Mary were not spared from the brutality and power struggles that defined this era. As we gaze upon this monochrome portrait, we are reminded not only of Lady Mary's suffering but also her strength as she endures such public humiliation with dignity intact. This photograph invites us to reflect on our shared human history and consider how far society has come since those dark times.
