The Moor Guide
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 19th century, showcasing an engraved illustration by Robert Havell the Elder. Published in 1814 by Robinson and Son, this exquisite piece of art captures the essence of field sports and countryside life during that era. The image portrays a group of moor guides, who were commonly known as Dog Breakers or lead mine workers. In this particular scene, they are seen engaged in their autumn activities. The attention to detail is impeccable, with each figure expertly etched onto the print. A notable feature within the composition is the Old Spital Inn on Stainmoor, standing proudly against the backdrop of vast moors. This inn served as a gathering place for locals and travelers alike during those times. The artist George Walker skillfully reproduced Havell's original work through color lithography, adding depth and vibrancy to every element depicted. The use of warm tones evokes a sense of nostalgia while highlighting both human figures and their loyal canine companions. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also provides us with a glimpse into rural life centuries ago. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature, dogs, and traditional pastimes enjoyed amidst picturesque landscapes.
