EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Liskard, Cornwall, from Views in Cornwall, April 12,1812" takes us back to the picturesque landscapes of 19th century England. Created by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, this hand-coloured etching beautifully captures the essence of Liskeard village in Cornwall. The scene depicts a bustling town square with charming buildings and a vibrant atmosphere. The architectural details showcase the unique heritage of this British village. One cannot help but be drawn to the Corn Exchange and Commodity Exchange buildings that stand proudly amidst the landscape. Rowlandson's masterful use of colour adds depth and life to this historic artwork. The soft hues evoke a sense of tranquility while also highlighting the liveliness brought by people going about their daily lives. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - an era when finance and trade played significant roles in shaping communities like Liskeard. This artwork serves as a testament to both Rowlandson's artistic talent and his ability to capture the spirit of a place. Now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece stands as a valuable part of our cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty found within Cornwall's landscapes but also provides insight into life during that period. Through Rowlandson's lens, we can explore history through art – connecting past generations with our present-day appreciation for craftsmanship and storytelling.
