EDITORS COMMENTS
The First of September, Morning" is a captivating mezzotint print by William Ward, published in 1794. This exquisite artwork transports us back to the eighteenth century, inviting us to witness a quiet and rustic scene of rural life in England. The print depicts a stable interior, where a stable hand is preparing his horses for the day. The horses, with their powerful forms and expressive eyes, are a testament to the artist's mastery of animal anatomy and movement. Two hunting dogs, alert and attentive, are tethered nearby, their grey coats blending seamlessly with the muted colors of the stable. The title "The First of September, Morning" suggests the beginning of the hunting season, a time of year when the countryside would come alive with the sounds of hounds and the sight of riders setting out on horseback. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the array of equipment and tools scattered around the stable, from the brushes and combs to the saddles and stirrups. William Ward's "The First of September, Morning" is a beautiful example of the regionalism that characterized British art during the eighteenth century. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural England, capturing the simple pleasures and hard work that defined the era. This mezzotint state I, with its rich tonal range and intricate detail, is a must-see for any art lover or history enthusiast. This print is part of the impressive collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Whether you're an art aficionado or simply looking for a moment of escape, "The First of September, Morning" is a must-see work of art that transports us to a simpler time and place.
