The Scottish National Gallery has the only set of Turner’s literary vignettes that remain together in one collection, his twenty illustrations for ‘The Poetical Works of Thomas Campbell’. These were made to be engraved in Edward Moxon’s edition of Campbell’s poems, published in 1837. A copy of this book is in the collection of the Scottish National Gallery Print Room. In the poem Campbell recounts a walk to the summit of Camp Hill from where, surveying the landscape beneath the setting sun, he imagines the scene on the night before the Battle of Hastings. In the foreground of his illustration Turner has included a still life, consisting of shields, a sword, crossbow and mace. At the right, a blood-stained arrow placed inside a discarded crown signifies King Harold’s impending death.
