Poet Laureate

Brother Robert Burns being made Poet Laureate

Limited Edition print of Brother Robert Burns being made Poet Laureate in Lodge Canongate Kilwinning (Edinburgh) on 1st March 1787.

Taken from the oil on canvas which hangs in the Grand Lodge of Scotland Museum this 'ceremony' probably never took place. It is considered by many to be a retrostective tribute to the Bard. It remains a most interesting picture with many interesting individuals show therein.

Each is signed by Lord Burton who was then Grand Master Mason. It comes complete with a 'key' naming each individual in the picture.
