EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fall of Chit Cliff, Sidmouth (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a dramatic moment in English coastal history. The engraving, created by an unknown artist from the English School during that era, is now part of a private collection. The image depicts the awe-inspiring scene of Chit Cliff's collapse in Sidmouth. This event was so significant that it caught the attention of The Illustrated London News, which featured this very illustration on April 21st, 1849. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported to a time when such natural phenomena were documented and shared through engravings like these. The sheer power and force of nature are evident as we witness the landfall along Devon's coastline. The cliffs crumble into the sea below, forever altering the shape and character of this picturesque coastal town. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly solid structures can succumb to nature's relentless strength. As we contemplate this historic moment frozen in time through this engraving, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as a historical document. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece for future generations to admire and learn from. Let us be grateful for their commitment to sharing fine art with audiences worldwide while also respecting any restrictions on commercial use associated with it.
