EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures the essence of time standing still in a serene garden setting. The sundial depicted is not just a mere timepiece, but a symbol of wisdom and contemplation that comes with age. As the sun's rays cast shadows on its weathered surface, one can almost feel the weight of centuries worth of stories and memories that this ancient sundial holds. The artist, Alfred Rawlings, has masterfully captured the intricate details of this aged sundial, from its delicate engravings to its moss-covered base. The soft hues used in this print evoke a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, transporting the viewer to a bygone era where time moved at a slower pace. Sir Frank Crisp's possession of this sundial at Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames adds an extra layer of history and prestige to this artwork. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern world, there are still pockets of beauty and grace that have stood the test of time. "The sundial was so aged / It had gathered a thoughtful grace" is not just a piece of art; it is a reflection on the passage of time and the enduring beauty found in objects touched by history.
