EDITORS COMMENTS
George Raper's captivating drawing No. 6, titled "Salvages [and] Salvages [and] Island of Teneriffe," transports us to the tranquil shores of the Canary Islands during the late 18th century. This evocative work of art, created around 1790, showcases the rugged, volcanic terrain of Teneriffe's coastline, with its rocky cliffs and calm, turquoise waters. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the daytime serenity of the Atlantic seascape. Raper, an accomplished English artist, masterfully captures the essence of the moment, as fishermen and locals go about their daily activities on the island. In the foreground, a group of salvage workers can be seen mending their nets, their figures dwarfed by the towering cliffs behind them. The island's lush vegetation and vibrant foliage add a richness and depth to the composition, further emphasizing the natural beauty of this remote paradise. This exquisite illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the people who inhabited the Canary Islands during the 1768 to 1797 timeframe. Raper's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the scene make this a truly captivating work of art, one that continues to inspire and delight viewers to this day.
