Robert Bruce's Last Orders to Douglas - A Glimpse into Scottish History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Mary L. Gow in the early 20th century, offers a poignant snapshot of a significant moment in Scottish history. The print depicts the solemn scene of Robert Bruce, the legendary King of Scotland, issuing his final commands to his loyal ally and friend, Sir James Douglas. Set against the backdrop of Cardross Castle, this artwork transports us back in time to witness an intimate exchange between two historical figures. Clad in intricate period costumes that evoke medieval splendor, Bruce and Douglas stand at the heart of this composition. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the weighty significance behind these last orders. With death looming near on Bruce's deathbed, he entrusts Douglas with carrying out his final wishes and ensuring Scotland's continued fight for independence from English rule. The attention to detail captured by Gow is truly remarkable; every line etched onto paper breathes life into this historic moment. This engraving was originally published as part of Cassell's History of England series around 1920. Through this powerful visual narrative, viewers can immerse themselves in a pivotal chapter within Scottish history - one that showcases bravery and loyalty amidst political turmoil. Bridgeman Images has preserved this timeless masterpiece for all to appreciate and reflect upon our shared past.
