EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 depicts King James III of Scotland, a figure who reigned from 1460 to 1488. Despite his regal appearance, James III was an unpopular and ineffective monarch. His reign was marked by a refusal to administer justice fairly, a relentless pursuit of alliance with the Kingdom of England, and turbulent relationships with his extended family. The portrait showcases King James in profile, highlighting his distinguished features and regal demeanor. Wearing a majestic crown atop his head, he exudes authority and power. The half-length composition allows us to focus on the intricate details of his royal attire. This print offers us a glimpse into the complex history of Scottish monarchy during the late 15th century. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold great power can face challenges and struggle to maintain their position.
