The Bijou An Annual of Literature and the Arts (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Bijou: An Annual of Literature and the Arts The venerable Stothard has, it will he seen, again exercised his imagination and his pencil in the service of the bijou, and has proved that genius cannot be weakened or impaired by age. Though the last mentioned, one of the most pleasing, engravings is T HE bag piper, by the Walter Scott of painters-mr. Wilkie. This delightful picture, for the use of which he is indebted to the kindness of Sir Francis Freeling, Bart. Is too well known to require comment and it is hoped that! The plate will be as general a favourite as the original. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
