Stepping Stones, c19th century - A Glimpse into a Bygone Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by George Butterworth transports us back to the enchanting world of the 19th century. Titled "Stepping Stones" it captures a scene that seems plucked from a fairy tale or medieval story. In this picturesque setting, we see a young girl elegantly dressed in period clothing, delicately crossing a stream using stepping stones. Her fur-trimmed dress and hat exude an air of privilege and refinement. Accompanying her is an adorable puppy, adding warmth and playfulness to the composition. The presence of another figure, possibly a servant or companion, highlights the concept of assistance and service during this era. The man's attire suggests he belongs to the working class - his job being to ensure safe passage for his charge. George Butterworth's meticulous engraving technique beautifully captures every detail in this mesmerizing piece. The monochrome palette adds depth and timelessness to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into an era where rambling through nature was not only leisurely but also served as an opportunity for reflection and connection with one's surroundings. This print serves as both a visual delight and a window into our rich cultural heritage – reminding us of simpler times when stepping stones were not just physical objects but metaphors for life's journey itself.
