From the serene waters of Stapleton Glen, where a young fisherman is lost in thought amidst damselflies, dragonflies, and water snails (Francis Danby, c1830s), to the thrill of the catch with a perch (Edward Donovan, 1804), and the majesty of salmon fishing (John F Tennant, 1844). Edward's adventure continues with a glimpse into the life of Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C. (Bassano Ltd, c1899), and the beauty of gazanias, gazanias, and callicarpa purpurea (unknown artist, late 19th century). But the journey wouldn't be complete without the company of the elegant fuchsias sp. (Princess of Wales, 1837, by Auguste Amant Constant Fidele Edouart). Throughout it all, Edward's spirit remains unwavering, as he connects with nature and cherishes the simple pleasures of life. These stunning works of art, created between 1801 and 1899, offer a glimpse into a bygone era and remind us of the timeless joy of the great outdoors.
