Image description

From a woodcut engraving Licensed and Entered According to Order; In English folklore, John Barleycorn is a character who represents the crop of barley harvested each autumn and symbolizes the drinks which can be made from barley -- beer and whiskey -- and their effects. In the traditional folksong, John Barleycorn endures all kinds of indignities, most of which correspond to the cyclic nature of planting, growing, harvesting, and then death; also the mythical Anglo-Saxon pagan figure Beowa who also represents barley. The folksong details the suffering, death, and resurrection of Barleycorn, yet also celebrates the "reviving effects of drinking his blood".
