EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Robert Burns: Tam O Shanter" transports us to the enchanting world of one of Scotland's most beloved poets. Created by John Moyr Smith, or attributed to him, this print captures a pivotal moment from Burns' famous narrative poem. The scene depicted is none other than Tam O Shanter himself witnessing Nannie lap and flang with incredible agility. The artist skillfully portrays the energy and strength of this "souple jade" as she leaps through the air. With every stroke of his pen, Smith brings to life the vivid imagery described in Burns' verses. This illustration was originally intended for "The Poetical Works of Robert Burns" published around 1870 by E Moxon. It beautifully complements the poet's words, adding an extra layer of visual storytelling to his already evocative tale. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded not only of Robert Burns' poetic genius but also his ability to transport readers into fantastical realms filled with folklore and magic. This print serves as a testament to both the enduring popularity of Burns' works and their profound impact on literature. Now preserved in a private collection, this remarkable engraving allows us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations worldwide.
