EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Surrey, where artist Arthur Hawksley masterfully captured the essence of an old posting yard. The painting, created in 1885 using oil on canvas, showcases a scene that exudes history and charm. In this picturesque setting, we are transported to a time when wood was the primary material used for construction. The sturdy wooden structures stand proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and clear blue skies. A prominent chimney rises above one of these buildings, hinting at the industry that once thrived within these walls. A narrow passage way invites our curiosity as it winds through brick walls towards hidden secrets beyond. It is easy to imagine horse-drawn carriages passing through here long ago, carrying travelers from distant lands. The architecture itself tells stories of hard work and dedication. Each building seems to have its own purpose - some housing residents while others serve as workshops or storage spaces. The chopping sounds echoing from afar remind us that this place was once bustling with activity. As we admire this remarkable piece by Arthur Hawksley, we cannot help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time when life revolved around community and craftsmanship. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate the beauty found in everyday scenes like an old posting yard in Surrey.
