Detailed view About the artist: Zula Kenyon Hutton and Burns were contemporaries, and would have mixed in similar circles in Edinburgh. Burns may have been inspired by the concept of deep time put forward a few years earlier by geologist James Hutton in his Theory of the Earth in 1789. The song is highly evocative, including lines describing rocks melting with the sun, and the seas running dry. The title of the piece, "My Luv's Like a Red, Red Rose", comes from the 1794 song in Scots by Robert Burns of a similar name.

It is framed behind glass in a beautiful period frame with gesso ornamentation of gilded dragonflies, butterflies, and leaves. This pastel shows scattered surface wear including soiling along the top margin, several separate scattered punctures in the canvas and light surface soiling. This illustration comes from the collection of esteemed illustration art collector Norman Platnick. Kenyon continued producing artwork for calendar images into the late 1930s. Many were of pretty women holding bouquets of flowers. Kenyon completed more than 200 calendar illustrations for Gerlach-Barklow. She worked in a studio at the calendar company in Joliet for around 12 years before moving out west, due to health problems. Due to the popularity of Kenyon’s illustrations, she was soon given an exclusive contract with them. Kenyon began doing artwork for The Gerlach-Barklow Calendar Company of Joliet shortly after it was founded in 1907. This piece was created for The Gerlach-Barklow Calendar Company out of Joliet, Illinois and was first published as part of their 1915 calendar line.
