Légende

Procession of shepherds, 1844. A procession of clubs, societies, and trades paying respects at the birthplace of Scottish poet Robert Burns at Alloway in Scotland, during a festival celebrating his life and work. The procession '...paused a few minutes, and then advanced slowly, lowering their banners, while each man doffed his cap, and bowed reverently, in the direction of the humble, but far-famed cottage. Here all eyes were directed to the group of shepherds...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
