EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Illustration for The Soldiers Return by Robert Burns" takes us on a journey through the emotional reunion of two lovers torn apart by war. Created by John Faed in the 19th century, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Robert Burns' poignant poem. In the scene depicted, we see a soldier returning home to his beloved after a long and arduous battle. His eyes are filled with tears as he spots his "ain dear maid" standing outside her mother's dwelling. Overwhelmed with emotion, he turns away to hide his tears from her gaze. The artist skillfully portrays the raw emotions experienced during such reunions - joy mixed with sorrow, relief intertwined with longing. The delicate lines and intricate details bring life to each character's expression, allowing us to feel their love and pain simultaneously. Commissioned by the Royal Association for the Promotion of Fine Arts in Scotland in 1857, this illustration serves as a timeless reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers throughout history. It pays homage not only to Robert Burns' poetic genius but also honors all those who have fought bravely for their country. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured within an engraved frame, we are transported back in time - reminded of love's enduring strength amidst adversity and inspired by those who have selflessly served their nations.
