Burns Grace, late 19th century. Artist: Henry John Dobson
Burns Grace, late 19th century. Grace thought by some to have been written by Robert Burns (1759-1796), but which was possibly already in use before his time: Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit. (Some have meat that cannot eat, And some would eat that want for it; But we have meat, and we can eat, So let the Lord be thanked for it)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Burns Grace, late 19th century" captures a moment of gratitude and reflection in a humble Scottish cottage. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Henry John Dobson, who beautifully portrays the essence of Robert Burns' famous grace. The image showcases a charming interior with a wooden table adorned with plates and an elegant jug. A man and woman sit together, their heads bowed in prayer as they recite the timeless words: "Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit". In this scene filled with warmth and simplicity, Dobson transports us to a bygone era where faith played an integral role in daily life. The presence of a feline companion adds an endearing touch to the composition. As we gaze upon this print from the late 19th century, we are reminded of the power of gratitude amidst life's challenges. This image serves as a poignant reminder that while some may go without food or face hardships, there are those fortunate enough to have sustenance on their tables. Henry John Dobson skillfully captures both the religious devotion embedded within these lines of grace and the rustic beauty of Scottish country living. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect on our own blessings while appreciating the rich literary heritage left by poets like Robert Burns.
