EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures the essence of a British bard and an orator, transporting us back to the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, is believed to be an illustration for "The Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" by Samuel Rush Meyrick and Charles Hamilton Smith. In this scene, we witness two figures immersed in their respective roles. On the left stands the bard, adorned in traditional robes and holding a harp with great reverence. His presence exudes musicality and poetry as he prepares to enchant his audience with ancient melodies. On the right side of the print stands an eloquent orator, dressed in regal attire that reflects his importance as a speaker within early British society. With gestures that command attention and words that captivate minds, he engages listeners with his powerful speech. Both figures represent different forms of entertainment prevalent during prehistoric times in Britain. They offer us glimpses into ancient Britons' culture and traditions while showcasing their artistic prowess. This artwork not only celebrates our rich heritage but also serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and bring history alive before our eyes. It invites viewers to appreciate both music's melodic charm and language's persuasive power—a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past. Through this beautifully detailed engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported on a visual journey through Britain's cultural tapestry—an exploration worth embarking upon again and again.
