4The picture below is a detail of a late18th c. print found in CatchpennyPrints, 163 Popular Engravings fromthe Eighteenth Century (Dover Publications1970). This book is a compilation of the workof the London firm Bowles and Carver, andthe prints all date from a couple of years eachside of 1790. This print (number 123 in thecollection) is entitled “St. Patrick’s Day”,establishing an unmistakably Irish associa-tion. The pipes have three drones, lying overthe player’s right arm in the manner of thePastoral pipes, but have no regulators. Thechanter does not appear to have a foot joint,and it may or may not be placed on the piper’sknee. If it is, it is on the left one. Thanks toSeán Donnelly for bringing this to our atten-tion.Pat McNulty has donated a set of photographsfrom his collection showing scenes from theearly Tionóil of Na Píobairí Uilleann, andother subjects.
