View of Abbey Craig, on the Clyde near Stirling in Scotland. A ‘craig’ or ‘crag’, is a rocky hill or mountain which is usually isolated from other high ground. This craig is famous in Scottish history because it was from here that in 1297 William Wallace watched the English forces crossing the Forth at Stirling Bridge. Wallace later led his troops to victory in the Battle of Stirling Bridge. This picture was drawn in 1816 before a monument to commemorate Wallace was erected at the peak of Abbey Craig.

Rare coloured aquatint. Sheet 265 x 200mm (10½ x 8"). Trimmed within plate.
A woman makes an emergency repair to the calf of a man's hose as he glares over his shoulder. On the wall behind are oval pictures of a couple dancing and a violin, with a scroll marked 'Walts' (waltz), all suggesting this was a dancing catastrophe. Although there was a contemporary Lord Darnley (John Bligh, 4th Earl of Darnley, 1767-1831), the dedication seems to be a pun on darning rather than a personal satire.
