Detail

Facsimile of Walker's 1830 stipple and mezzotint after Alexander Nasmyth, reprinted in 1888 with a facsimile letter of authenticity printed on the reverse:

3 Berkeley Street
July 9th 1888

Dear Sir,
I'm told you require
a note from me about
the engraving you have
to dispose of. I recognized it
at once in your shop as my
father Col Burnses hand
writing. Mr Bogie who lived
at Terraughtie with John
Maxwell was a beloved friend
of my Grandmother Burns,
The Poet's widow.

I remain
Yours truly

S (Burns) Hutchinson

A copy of a hand tinted engraving is held by Ancient Light No. 88, in Delta, BC.
