EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment in time that transports us back to the 19th century, where we witness the power of our olfactory sense. This engraving by an English School artist showcases a bustling river scene filled with various elements that evoke different smells. In this print, we find ourselves amidst a vibrant maritime environment. A majestic ship sails gracefully on the river, while rowing boats navigate its waters. The air is thick with scents from all directions - the salty tang of the sea mingling with the earthy aroma of wet wood and damp pier. Our attention is drawn to a figure standing at the edge of the pier, fully engrossed in their sense of smell. With nostrils flared and eyes closed, they inhale deeply, capturing every nuance carried by gentle breezes. Perhaps they are detecting hints of fish brought in by passing fishing vessels or catching whiffs from nearby tugboats chugging along. However, not all fragrances are pleasant; there is also an underlying effluence present - a reminder that even within such picturesque scenes lies evidence of human habitation and industry. It serves as a testament to how our senses can perceive both beauty and reality simultaneously. This remarkable artwork reminds us of our connection to nature through scent and invites contemplation on how it shapes our experiences. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us appreciate how smelling allows us to immerse ourselves fully in our surroundings – embracing both delightful
