Millar & Lang - Hark Hark The Dogs Do Bark,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph by renowned Scottish photographer Jessie King, dates back to 1904. This evocative image transports us back in time to the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, where the ancient streets echo with history. The photograph features a lively scene of a group of men gathered around a horse-drawn cart, their faces etched with the hardships and resilience of daily life. The cart, adorned with colorful fabric and a banner bearing the words "Millar & Lang," is being pulled by a team of powerful and determined dogs. Their eyes are fixed on the task at hand, their ears perked up in anticipation, as they bark in unison, "Hark!" The title of the photograph, "Hark Hark The Dogs Do Bark," is a reference to the traditional Scottish ballad, "The Bonnie Earl O' Murray," which includes the line, "Hark, hark, the dogs do bark, the beggars are coming on." This phrase was often used to signal the approach of a procession or parade, adding to the sense of community and celebration in the image. Jessie King's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as her keen eye for detail, brings this moment in time to life. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the strength and determination of the people and animals who once inhabited the narrow streets of Edinburgh's Old Town. This powerful and evocative image is a testament to the rich history and enduring spirit of Scotland's past.
