Auld Lang Syne,
EDITORS COMMENTS
translated as "Old Long Since," is a traditional Scottish song that has become a staple of New Year's Eve celebrations around the world. This beautiful print, dated 1845 from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the spirit of the song as it brings together a joyous and sentimental gathering of people. The image shows a group of men and women, dressed in their finest attire, gathered around a grand fireplace, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of the fire. Some hold glasses in hand, raising them in a toast, while others join hands and sing along to the familiar tune. The air of camaraderie and nostalgia is palpable as they bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new. The lyrics of "Auld Lang Syne," penned by the poet Robert Burns in 1788, speak of the importance of remembering the past and cherishing the bonds of friendship. The song's chorus, sung repeatedly, asks "Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?" As the clock strikes midnight and the new year begins, this timeless melody serves as a reminder to hold dear the memories of the past and look forward to the possibilities of the future. This print is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of music and tradition to bring people together and create moments of happiness and connection.
