EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the historic year of 1787, capturing a significant moment in Scottish history. The image depicts the Meeting of the General Assembly of the Kirk of Scotland in the Old Kirk, located within St Giles Cathedral. The scene is filled with an air of importance and reverence as members gather together for this momentous occasion. Clad in traditional attire, they are seated on wooden pews beneath ornate stained-glass windows that filter soft rays of sunlight into the sacred space. The composition exudes a sense of grandeur and solemnity, emphasizing both the historical significance and religious devotion present within this assembly. Each figure seems deeply engaged in discussion or contemplation, their expressions reflecting a range of emotions from earnestness to deep thought. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Scotland's rich heritage but also its enduring commitment to faith and community. This gathering symbolizes unity among believers and serves as a testament to the power that religion holds over society. Preserved through time by skilled hands, this engraving allows us to witness firsthand an event that shaped Scottish history. It invites us to reflect on our own place within larger narratives while appreciating art's ability to transport us across centuries into moments long gone but forever etched in memory.
