EDITORS COMMENTS
Berkeley's Seat: A Glimpse into 19th Century Coastal Recreation". This photo print, titled "Berkeley's Seat" captures a moment of leisure and relaxation in the late 19th century. Taken by W. J. Linton, an eminent American artist, this image showcases people bathing in the refreshing waters of the Atlantic Ocean at Rhode Island, USA. The location itself holds historical significance as it was named after Irish bishop George Berkeley, who made landfall near Newport in the early 18th century. The area became known as "Berkeley's Seat" drawing visitors seeking respite from their daily lives. Displayed in William Cullen Bryant's renowned book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" this engraving transports us back to a time when coastal recreation was a cherished pastime. As we gaze upon this scene, we witness individuals enjoying the simple pleasures of life – splashing in the waves and basking under the warm sun. The composition is enhanced by Casimir Clayton Griswold's illustrations on steel and wood that beautifully capture every detail of this picturesque landscape. Hattie Brown adds depth with her delicate brushstrokes depicting honeysuckle bushes adorning the coast. Linton masterfully conveys not only a sense of tranquility but also highlights how nature can provide solace amidst our bustling world. This print serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have sought refuge along these shores – finding peace within themselves while immersing in nature’s embrace. As we admire "Berkeley's Seat" let us appreciate its timeless beauty and reflect on our own connection to both history and nature.
