EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from British Antiquity, depicting a Breton bard and an ovate (Celtic druid) in the pre-Roman era. The bard is seated on a rock, clad in blue robes, holding a telyn (harp) with grace and poise. Beside him stands the ovate, dressed in green robes symbolizing knowledge and wisdom, pointing at the trunk of an oak tree carved into a Tau - a symbol of god.
The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this ancient Celtic tradition of storytelling and spiritual guidance. The harmony between the bard's music and the ovate's teachings creates a sense of reverence for their culture and beliefs.
Created by Robert Havell based on an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith from Samuel Meyrick's work "Costume's Costume: The Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" in 1821, this hand-colored aquatint beautifully preserves the essence of these Druidic priests from centuries past.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the sacred connection between man and nature, music and spirituality. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and traditions that have shaped us throughout history.
