EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Montreal, the Seat of Lord Amherst, 1777" takes us back to the picturesque countryside of 18th century England. The artist, William Watts, skillfully captures the essence of rural life in this enchanting landscape. The focal point of the image is Montreal Park, located in Sevenoaks, Kent. This stately home was owned by Jeffrey Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst, a renowned military leader who played a significant role in capturing Montreal from the French. It is no wonder that he named his residence after this historic city. The scene depicts a rider on horseback traversing through lush greenery and towering trees. The tranquility of summer fills the air as nature thrives around them. The rustic charm of the countryside is beautifully portrayed through Watts' monochrome lens. As we gaze at this print, we can't help but imagine ourselves transported back to that era - witnessing Lord Amherst's grand estate and experiencing life amidst such natural beauty. It serves as a reminder of simpler times and allows us to appreciate both history and nature simultaneously. This remarkable engraving not only showcases William Watts' artistic talent but also immortalizes Lord Amherst's legacy within its intricate details. It stands as a testament to their shared love for Montreal and serves as an enduring piece of historical artistry for generations to come.
