Shown here is a detail from an engraving from one of two volumes of poems by Robert Fergusson, published as part of 'The Scotish [sic] Poets' series (1788-1798).
It illustrates lines from Fergusson's poem 'The Farmer's Ingle':
'Wi butter'd bannocks now the girdle reeks:
I' the far nook the bowie briskly reams'.
