EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Poltesco" takes us on a visual journey through 19th century Cornwall. Created by Charles Napier Hemy, this artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "An Unsentimental Journey through Cornwall" with illustrations by C. Napier Hemy. The print showcases the artist's mastery of realism, capturing everyday life in exquisite detail. It transports us to a time when England was known as Great Britain and Europe was undergoing significant changes. In this scene, we are immersed in the sights and senses of Poltesco, a place that seems both familiar yet distant. The illustration offers a glimpse into the daily routine and humdrum life of ordinary people during this era. The use of black and white adds to its timeless appeal, emphasizing the intricate lines and textures created by the skilled engraver. As we explore this artwork further, we can almost hear the sounds of bustling activity echoing through its streets. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, "Poltesco" serves as a window into an earlier period – one filled with charm, simplicity, and an appreciation for everyday life. This print from Bridgeman Images captures not only our imagination but also our desire to understand more about our shared past.
