EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases a British female on the border of the Picts, an ancient Scottish tribe. The print, part of a private collection, was originally published in a 1753 edition of Caesars Commentaries and engraved by Cornelis Huyberts. In this full-length portrait, we see a woman who exudes strength and resilience. She stands proudly with her tribal companions, holding spears as symbols of their power and protection. The nudity depicted here is not meant to be provocative but rather emphasizes their connection to nature and freedom. The image offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Britain and its diverse cultures. It reminds us that long before modern borders were drawn, tribes like the Picts thrived in these lands. Their presence shaped Great Britain's identity as we know it today. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate the beauty found within British culture and its ties to Europe. This artwork serves as a testament to our shared heritage across the British Isles and beyond.
