EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the resolute presence of Alexander Leslie, the 1st Earl of Leven. A distinguished military leader and General of the Scottish Army, Leslie's illustrious career spanned several decades and continents. Born around 1580, he served in Swedish forces from 1605 to 1638, rising through the ranks to become a revered Field Marshal. His valorous actions during the tumultuous Thirty Years War earned him widespread recognition and respect. Returning to his homeland of Scotland, Leslie found himself embroiled in conflict once again. He fearlessly led his troops against the King's forces as part of a movement known as Covenanters. Clad in an impressive suit of armor with a striking collar, he exudes authority and strength atop his majestic steed. Leslie's commanding presence is further accentuated by his distinguished facial hair - a well-groomed moustache paired with a goatee beard that adds an air of sophistication to his rugged appearance. This remarkable portrait showcases not only Leslie's military prowess but also serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment to defending what he believed in. It stands as a timeless tribute to this legendary soldier who left an indelible mark on both Scottish and European history.
