EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the charming and intricate world of Our Village in Victorian Times, as depicted in this series of silhouettes by H.L. Oakley. This exquisite print transports us to a rural English community during the 19th century, where the rhythm of village life unfolds before our very eyes. The squire, a proud and distinguished figure, stands tall amidst his lush estate, overseeing the daily activities of his land. The gamekeepers, clad in traditional attire, patrol the grounds with their trusty dogs, ensuring the preservation of the noble sporting traditions. Farm workers toil in the fields, their backs bent under the weight of their labor, while the blacksmith, with the anvil's glow casting an orange hue upon his weathered face, forges the tools that keep the community functioning. The local hostelry, a welcoming and social hub, beckons the village folk with its warm and inviting glow. The pub, a place of camaraderie and respite, is a testament to the strong bonds that tie this community together. The village pump, a symbol of life's essentials, stands proudly in the center of the high street, providing the daily necessity of water for the villagers. The grocery shop, bustling with activity, offers a glimpse into the daily provisions of the community. The vicar, a pillar of moral guidance, stands tall and resolute, offering solace and wisdom to those in need. Each silhouette, meticulously crafted by H.L. Oakley, invites us to explore the rich tapestry of Victorian village life, providing a captivating and historical window into a bygone era.
