EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fontarabia, with the convent and Bridge of Capauchinos" takes us on a visual journey to the Basque provinces of Spain. Captured by Henry Wilkinson in 1838, this hand-coloured engraving showcases the stunning scenery that characterizes this region. The image transports us to a picturesque scene where a covered boat gently glides through the tranquil waters of Bidassoa River. The majestic mountains serve as an awe-inspiring backdrop, creating a sense of serenity and grandeur. As we gaze upon this enchanting landscape, we can almost feel the crisp mountain air and hear the gentle lapping of water against the boat's hull. Intriguingly, fishermen dotting the river add life and activity to this otherwise peaceful setting. Their presence reminds us of the rich fishing traditions that have thrived in these northern Spanish waters for centuries. Fontarabia (also known as Fuenterrabía or Hondarribia) comes alive through Wilkinson's meticulous attention to detail, capturing not only its natural beauty but also its cultural heritage. This exquisite engraving is part of "Sketches of scenery in the Basque provinces" accompanied by a selection of national music from Spain. It offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in both visual and auditory delights from this vibrant corner of Europe. As we admire this timeless masterpiece, let it transport us back in time and inspire our own wanderlust for exploration amidst nature's wonders.
