EDITORS COMMENTS
The Auld Alliance: Celebrating Centuries of Friendship between France and Scotland". This vibrant print captures a momentous celebration of the historic bond between France and Scotland. In this colourful lithograph, we witness French and Scottish girls joyfully dancing together, symbolizing the enduring connection known as The Auld (Old) Alliance. Dating back to 1295/6, The Auld Alliance was born out of a shared necessity for both nations to counter English expansionism. This alliance has since evolved into a profound friendship that transcends borders and time. The phrase "The Auld Alliance" now represents the longstanding links of camaraderie between these two nations. Part of an exquisite series called "Dancing Girls of the World" produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills Scissors cigarettes, this image showcases the beauty and diversity found in different cultures across the globe. The girls' costumes are adorned with traditional symbols such as bonnets, feathers, tartan patterns, and swords – all representing their respective heritage while highlighting unity through dance. As we gaze upon this vintage card from our private collection, it serves as a reminder that diplomacy can be expressed through artistry and cultural exchange. It is a testament to how alliances can form not only on political grounds but also through genuine friendships rooted in tradition. Let us celebrate this allegory of friendship between France and Scotland – an age-old link that continues to bring joy, harmony, and mutual respect to both nations.
