EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "David, King of Scots, dispenses Justice" transports us back to a bygone era of regal authority and fair governance. The illustration is taken from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, dating back to approximately 1920. In this scene, we witness David I, the renowned King of Scotland (c. 1083-1153), embodying his reputation for justice and wisdom. With an air of solemnity befitting his royal stature, he sits atop an ornate throne adorned with a majestic crown. A crowd has gathered around him in anticipation as they kneel before their ruler. The composition exudes power and grandeur as David Mac Mail Choluim presides over the hearing. His piercing gaze reveals both determination and compassion as he listens intently to each petitioner's plea for justice. It is evident that his subjects hold great respect for their king; their eyes are filled with hope while awaiting his verdict. This engraving captures a significant moment in British history when rulers were expected to uphold righteousness above all else. Through this image, we glimpse into the intricate tapestry woven by David I during his reign – one characterized by fairness and integrity. As we contemplate this remarkable print from the private collection of The Stapleton Collection, it serves as a reminder that true leadership lies not only in wielding power but also in dispensing justice with impartiality and compassion.
