Mary, Queen of Scots in Lochleven Castle, with a small scene of her escape from the castle below (from "The History of England") 1830 - 1840

This engraving, created by John Rogers between 1830 and 1840, depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, during her imprisonment at Lochleven Castle. The central scene shows Mary seated, surrounded by figures, with a man kneeling at her feet. Below is a smaller scene depicting Mary's dramatic escape from the castle by boat. The engraving, a popular form of art during the 19th century, was intended to illustrate a historical narrative and was likely included in a book or magazine. The detailed depiction of Mary and the historical context of her imprisonment make this artwork a valuable document of historical interest.
