EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1831 depicts a Scottish bagpiper playing his music for a group of maids outside a charming farm. The scene is brought to life by the handcoloured wood engraving, showcasing the vibrant kilt and feather cap worn by the talented musician. As he plays his bagpipes, one of the maids collects coins in a hat, while another carries a bucket of feed to the pigs. It seems that this lively performance has attracted attention not only from the maids but also from passersby who are eager to contribute their cash for notes. The illustration captures an intriguing snapshot of everyday life in early 19th century Scotland. It reflects both the customs and costumes of the time, as well as providing satirical commentary on society's fascination with entertainment and its willingness to part with money for such pleasures. The idyllic setting outside a Georgian farm adds further charm to this delightful scene. Created by Thomas Rowlandson and reproduced here from a private collection, this engraving showcases his talent for capturing intricate details and bringing characters to life through his artistry. Its inclusion in W. H. Harrison's publication "The Humourist" demonstrates its appeal as an entertaining piece meant for enjoyment during Christmas gatherings around warm firesides. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of our shared human experiences across centuries - enjoying music, engaging in daily activities, and finding amusement amidst our surroundings.
