Meryon produced celebrated architectural etchings capturing the imposing grandeur and medieval stonework of historic buildings with dramatic tonal contrasts and precise draftsmanship. His deeply felt sense of historical weight and monochrome etched architectural detail closely parallels Cameron's approach in this Stirling Castle composition.

Prout dedicated his career to depicting aged medieval and Gothic architecture across Britain and Europe, emphasizing crumbling stonework and historical grandeur with meticulous detail. His strong focus on Scottish and northern European castle architecture in traditional monochrome printmaking techniques makes his work closely comparable to this piece.
