Description

Postcard of Jean Armour Burns Brown, Burns's Great Grand-daughter.

The Victorian obsession with Burns led people to seek connections with him in bizarre ways. Here, a picture of Robert’s great-granddaughter is superimposed on to Nasmyth’s famous Burns portrait to show the family resemblance.
