EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Robert Burns: The deils awa wi the exciseman" by John Moyr Smith. The artwork, housed in a private collection, is attributed to Smith and dates back to the late 19th century. The image beautifully captures a scene from Robert Burns' famous poem where the devil himself comes fiddling through town and dances away with the exciseman. This illustration was originally created for "The Poetical Works of Robert Burns" published around 1870. In this enchanting depiction, we witness the devil's mischievous charm as he skillfully plays his fiddle while gleefully leading the unsuspecting exciseman astray. The intricate details of their expressions and movements bring this poetic moment to life. John Moyr Smith's artistic talent shines through in every stroke of his engraving, perfectly capturing the essence of Burns' words. This print serves as a testament to both Burns' enduring legacy as one of Scotland's greatest poets and Smith's mastery in visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where poetry intertwines with artistry, allowing us to appreciate not only the power of language but also its ability to inspire creativity across different mediums throughout history.
