EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Dover, 1747" by Richard Wilson takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Dover on the south coast of Kent. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic location, with its magnificent castle and towering cliffs stretching into the distance. Dover holds a significant place in British history, as it was the site of several notable battles. One such battle was the Battle of Sandwich, also known as the Battle of Dover, which occurred during the First Barons War in 1217. Another important naval battle, the Battle of Goodwin Sands, took place just off its coast in 1652. The painting itself is rich in color and detail, showcasing Wilson's mastery as an artist. The vibrant hues bring to life every aspect of this coastal landscape - from the rolling hills to the imposing fortifications that dot its shores. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a bygone era when war and conflict shaped not only Dover but also Britain's social history. It serves as a reminder of our nation's resilience and enduring spirit throughout different centuries. This print is part of C. V. Wedgwood's book "Battlefields in Britain" published by Collins in London during 1944. Its inclusion within these pages further emphasizes its historical significance and contribution to our understanding of British geography and heritage. Overall, Richard Wilson's "View of Dover" offers us a glimpse into both natural beauty and historical importance - a true testament to England's past that continues to captivate viewers today.
