The vibrant image, taken from the Roxburghe Ballad, captures the essence of daily life in the 17th century and provides a glimpse into the world of entertainment during that era. In this outdoor setting, two talented musicians take center stage. A skilled violinist passionately plays his instrument, while a cellist accompanies him with equal fervor. Their melodious tunes fill the air, attracting an audience eager to revel in their musical performance. The tavern's exterior serves as an inviting backdrop for this impromptu concert. Its rustic charm and warm glow hint at merry gatherings taking place within its walls. Men gather around, captivated by the enchanting melodies pouring forth from these gifted minstrels.
