An illustrated collected edition of Robert Burns's works, issued by Blackie & Son in Glasgow in 1843 with Currie's memoir and John Wilson's essay, aimed at Victorian household readers. Eighty-one steel engravings give Scottish river valleys, ruined abbeys, farm cottages and market crowds in fine grey hatching, useful for atmospheric landscape vignettes, figure groups and textured skies.
