EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Some of the houses of the original settlers" takes us back in time to a quaint village scene from Rip Van Winkle, a beloved short story by Washington Irving. Published in 1910, this colour lithograph by Arthur Rackham beautifully captures the essence of the American Revolutionary War era. In this picturesque setting, we see men and women going about their daily lives amidst charming houses that were once inhabited by the pioneering settlers. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each house exuding its own unique character. A weathervane perched atop one of the roofs adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. The townsfolk seem engrossed in their activities, perhaps discussing matters of importance or simply enjoying each other's company. Geese gracefully waddle near a peaceful pond nearby, adding an element of tranquility to this idyllic setting. One cannot help but be transported back in time and imagine what life was like during those historic years before and after the American Revolution. This print serves as a visual reminder of our rich history and how far we have come as a nation. As we gaze upon this artwork from The Stapleton Collection, it evokes feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for those who came before us – brave individuals who built these homes and shaped our communities into what they are today.
