EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Wallace, attacked by Lord Percys followers" transports us back to a tumultuous moment in Scottish history. Created by Alfred Pearse in the 19th or 20th century, this print captures a scene from Thomas Thomson's book "A History of the Scottish People" (published by Blackie around 1890). The image depicts William Wallace, an iconic figure known for his valiant efforts during Scotland's fight for independence. In this particular instance, Wallace finds himself under attack from Lord Percy's followers. The intensity of the situation is palpable as we witness the clash between these opposing forces. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and danger through intricate details such as flying weapons and determined expressions on both sides. The setting adds to the drama; with its serene waters and fishing implements scattered about, it becomes evident that this confrontation has interrupted a peaceful day of angling near Irvine. This historical event must have been significant enough to warrant inclusion in Thomson's comprehensive account of Scotland's past. As viewers, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience displayed by figures like Wallace who fought tirelessly for their country's freedom. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this powerful artwork that offers a glimpse into Scotland's rich heritage. It serves as a reminder of our collective history and encourages us to reflect on those who have shaped our world through their unwavering determination and sacrifice.
