EDITORS COMMENTS
This double page spread features an illustration and lyrics by the renowned British artist and illustrator, Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin, from the year 1895. The illustration, titled "The Leather Bottel," or "The Bottle," depicts a lively scene of merrymakers gathered around a long wooden table, each holding a mug or glass, raising a toast to the joyous occasion. The atmosphere is filled with the warm glow of candlelight and the merriment of song and laughter. The lyrics, penned by Aldin himself, accompany the illustration and add to the whimsical charm of the scene. The song, which has its origins in the 16th century, is a popular one that celebrates the simple pleasure of drinking and the camaraderie it brings. The words, sung to the tune of a traditional English folk melody, invite the reader to join in the revelry and raise a glass in solidarity. Cecil Aldin (1870-1935) was a prolific artist and illustrator, known for his humorous and nostalgic depictions of Victorian life. His works often featured scenes of everyday life, as well as popular songs and ballads of the time. The Leather Bottel is a prime example of Aldin's ability to capture the spirit of a bygone era and bring it to life through his art and words. This beautiful double page spread is a testament to Aldin's talent and the enduring appeal of the traditions and customs of the past.
