EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Crossing the Ford, from the picture in the Vernon Gallery" takes us on a journey back in time. The engraving, created by William Mulready and now part of a private collection, beautifully captures a moment of history and adventure. In this scene, we see a group of boys bravely carrying two young girls across a ford. The setting is picturesque with lush greenery surrounding them and sunlight filtering through the trees. It's evident that these children are embarking on an exciting expedition, perhaps exploring new territories or simply enjoying an adventurous day out. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every expression and gesture tells its own story. The determination on the boys' faces shows their commitment to safely crossing the ford while ensuring their precious cargo remains unharmed. Meanwhile, one can't help but wonder about the thoughts running through the minds of those young girls as they trustingly rely on their companions for support. This artwork not only showcases Mulready's exceptional talent as an engraver but also serves as a reminder of simpler times when outdoor exploration was cherished and relied upon for entertainment. It invites us to reflect upon our own childhood memories filled with similar escapades. As we gaze at this enchanting image from "Crossing the Ford" we are transported into another era - one where camaraderie, bravery, and curiosity were celebrated virtues among children.
