EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to a bygone era. Created by Samuel Collings in 1930, this artwork captures the enchanting scene of a frost fair on the River Thames in the heart of London. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to the bustling activity taking place on the frozen river. People huddle around a warm brazier, seeking respite from the biting cold. Temporary taverns and hotels have sprung up, providing shelter and entertainment for visitors who have flocked to witness this extraordinary spectacle. In the distance, iconic landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral, The Monument, and even the Tower of London stand tall against an icy backdrop. Ships' masts protrude from beneath layers of frozen water - a testament to nature's power over man-made structures. Collings' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise wintry landscape while showcasing his artistic prowess. This painting serves as both a historical record and an invitation into a world long past. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut, "Frost on the Thames" continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance.
