EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the grandeur and historical significance of Queen Mary's state entry into Edinburgh in 1561. Published by the Waverley Book Company in the 1950s, this print from Cassells History of the British People transports us back to a momentous event in British history. The scene is filled with discovery and excitement as Queen Mary, resplendent in her regal attire, rides on horseback through the streets of Edinburgh. Her presence commands attention as she is accompanied by an entourage of guards, their uniforms adding to the spectacle. The engraving beautifully depicts the ornate costumes worn by both royalty and attendants, showcasing the opulence of this royal procession. As we gaze at this image, we are transported to a time when exploration was not limited to distant lands but also encompassed new territories within Britain itself. Queen Mary's arrival symbolizes her reign over Scotland and marks a significant chapter in its history. The print also highlights an important aspect of sport during that era - horse riding. Both sportswomen and sportsmen were avid riders who enjoyed equestrian pursuits for leisure as well as competition. This engraving serves as a testament to their passion for horsemanship. Overall, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Scottish and British history while celebrating both fashion and sporting traditions of that time period.
