EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Davids Day in Wales" captures the essence of a joyous celebration in the heart of Wales. Created by Percy Macquoid in 1889, this print showcases the vibrant festivities that take place on St Davids Day. The scene depicts a group of Welsh countrymen gathered together, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation. The air is filled with the unmistakable smell of traditional Welsh broth simmering on an open fire, creating a comforting aroma that envelops the room. In the foreground, one man proposes a toast to his fellow enthusiasts while holding up a leek - an iconic symbol of Wales. A pennillion singer serenades them with melodious verses as they raise their glasses high. Amidst this merriment stands Doctor Gruffydd, known for his vegetarian lifestyle and teetotal tendencies. He engages in conversation with Archdeacon of Wales while Gladys Jenkins recites her latest englyn - a form of Welsh poetry. The atmosphere is alive with camaraderie and admiration for their beloved countryman, St David. As the bard adjourns for another round of shakespearian club activities later that evening, everyone feels grateful to be partaking in such an occasion steeped in tradition and heritage. This enchanting print serves as both an homage to St Davids Day and as a reminder of the deep-rooted pride felt by those who call themselves Welsh.
