This print showcases an exquisite illustration by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, created for the poem "O Saw Ye Bonnie Lesley" by Robert Burns. Published in 1919 as part of Palgraves Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Burns' romantic verses. The image portrays a tender moment between two lovers engaged in courtship. The female figure, undoubtedly Bonnie Lesley herself, emanates grace and elegance with her flowing gown and radiant expression. Her eyes are filled with warmth and affection as she gazes at her beloved companion. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of color that adorns the illustration. Vibrant hues bring life to the scene, enhancing its emotional impact. The soft pastel palette evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity, perfectly complementing the poetic nature of Burns' words. Fortescue-Brickdale skillfully captures the essence of love through her artistry, creating a visual representation that amplifies the emotions conveyed within Burns' poetry. This enchanting piece serves as a testament to both artists' ability to transport viewers into a world where romance blooms amidst picturesque landscapes. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Scottish countryside scenery, this illustration invites us to immerse ourselves in an era where love was celebrated through verse and art alike.
