Grand Burns Festival - Brown Entertains his Friend with a Haggis!, 1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by the talented artist John Leech, captures a momentous event in literary history. The year is 1859, and at Crystal Palace, an extravagant celebration is taking place to honor the centenary of Robert Burns' birth. In this satirical cartoon from Punch magazine, we witness a surprising incident unfolding at a dinner table. A Scottish man named Brown is entertaining his friend with none other than a haggis – Scotland's iconic dish. However, much to their shock and amusement, the haggis explodes dramatically! The scene showcases not only the cultural significance of Burns Night but also highlights the humorous side of life during the 19th century. Leech's masterful engraving skillfully depicts the startled expressions on both men's faces as they witness this unexpected turn of events. As we delve into this heritage image partnership between creator John Leech and renowned poet Robert Burns himself, we are transported back in time to experience this momentous occasion firsthand. The grandeur of Crystal Palace serves as an impressive backdrop for such an unforgettable incident. Through this artwork, Leech invites us to reflect on our own surprises and mishaps while celebrating literature and poetry that have stood the test of time. It reminds us that even amidst formal events like festivals and banquets, laughter can still find its way into our lives – sometimes through exploding haggis!
