EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Mickle Stane - Tam o Shanter" from 1844, with its creator remaining unknown. The stone depicted in the image holds great significance as it is featured in Robert Burns' renowned poem, "Tam o Shanter". Situated in a field next to a modest homestead, this singular stone serves as a commemoration of an event described by Burns: "the mickle stane where drunken Charlie breaks neck-bone". Published in the Illustrated London News of 1844, this engraving transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into British literature and culture. Robert Burns, often referred to as the Bard of Ayrshire or Ploughman Poet, was celebrated for his poetic prowess during this era. As we admire this vintage print captured by an anonymous artist, we are reminded of the enduring allure of poetry and its ability to immortalize moments in time. The stone itself becomes more than just an object; it transforms into a tourist attraction that draws visitors from far and wide. With its Victorian charm and historical significance, this print evokes feelings of nostalgia while also serving as a testament to the lasting impact of Robert Burns' work. It stands as both a tribute to Scottish heritage and an invitation for travelers to embark on their own literary journey through time.
