EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Welsh Bards Proclaiming the Eisteddford for 1887" transports us to a momentous event in the gardens of the Inner Temple in London. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation as two prominent figures take center stage amidst a downpour of rain. On the left, we see Mr Vaughan, also known as Idris Vychan, passionately reciting pennilion stanzas while being accompanied by Telynor Cymru, a skilled harpist. Their music resonates through the gardens and adds an ethereal quality to this enchanting gathering. To the right stands The Arch Druid himself, his presence commanding attention. With utmost conviction, he proclaims "The truth against the world" emphasizing his unwavering commitment to Welsh culture and heritage. Despite nature's interruption with rain pouring from above, these dedicated bards remain undeterred. They proudly showcase their traditional Welsh clothing and fashionably wield umbrellas to shield themselves from the elements. This juxtaposition between tradition and modernity highlights their resilience and adaptability even in adverse weather conditions. Through this remarkable print captured by Sydney Prior Hall in 1886 for The Graphic publication, we are transported back in time to witness this significant cultural event unfold before our eyes. It serves as a testament to not only the enduring spirit of Welsh music but also how art can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost to history.
