Burns C1790 Clings Devil Poems Tail
EDITORS COMMENTS
Tam O' Shanter by Robert Burns: A Captivating Tale of Folklore and the Supernatural, Circa 1790 This evocative print, titled 'Tam O' Shanter: The Devil Clings to his Horse's Tail,' is a captivating visual representation of Robert Burns' iconic poem, first published in 1791. The image, reminiscent of the late 18th century, transports us back in time to the world of Scottish folklore and the supernatural. At the heart of the story is Tam O' Shanter, a mischievous and heavy-drinking Scottish farmer, who, on a dark and stormy night, sets off on his horse, Meg, to attend a witch's gathering at Kirkallowe. As he passes the haunted bridge of Ayr, the devil himself appears, attempting to seize Tam and drag him to the underworld. In a desperate bid to escape, Tam grabs a stone and hurls it at the devil, who, in turn, clings to Meg's tail. This print beautifully encapsulates the thrilling moment when the devil, with fiery eyes and a sinister grin, clings to Meg's tail, as Tam gallops away, narrowly escaping his fate. The image, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Burns' poem and the power of Scottish folklore. First published in 1791, 'Tam O' Shanter' is one of Burns' most famous works, showcasing his mastery of language and storytelling. This print, with its historical significance and captivating imagery, is a must-have for any collection of Scottish literature, folklore, or history. Whether you're a scholar, a collector, or simply someone with a love for the supernatural and the tales of old, this print is sure to be a treasured addition to your library or home.
