EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Polling the Willows" we are transported back to 19th century England, where a serene scene unfolds along the picturesque River Thames. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the remarkable talent of an English School artist whose identity remains unknown. The artwork is inspired by Walter Armstrong's renowned book "The Thames from its Rise to the Nore" published around 1885. It beautifully captures a moment in time as two figures expertly navigate their way through the tranquil waters, skillfully maneuvering their small boat amidst a cluster of graceful willow trees. The enchanting ambiance created by this idyllic setting evokes feelings of peace and tranquility. The gentle ripples on the river's surface reflect sunlight like shimmering diamonds while casting dancing shadows upon the lush greenery that lines its banks. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, our imaginations wander to a simpler era when life moved at a slower pace and nature was cherished for its intrinsic beauty. We can almost hear birdsong mingling with whispers carried by soft breezes rustling through leaves. This image serves as a reminder of how art has the power to transport us across time and space, allowing us to experience moments long gone yet forever preserved within these delicate engravings. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an extraordinary piece that invites us to immerse ourselves in history and appreciate both nature's splendor and human ingenuity.
