EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia wash drawing, created by Cornelius Varley on 9th August 1820, transports us back in time to the remnants of Purton Hall in Tettenhall - Perton. The delicate strokes and muted tones evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. The focal point of the artwork is a three-storey building constructed from brick and stone, standing proudly amidst its surroundings. Its weathered facade tells tales of history and resilience. Adjacent to it, we see several outbuildings that complement the main structure harmoniously. Nature plays an integral role in this composition as well. A majestic tree graces the left side of the scene, its branches reaching towards the sky with graceful elegance. It serves as a reminder of nature's enduring presence amidst human creations. In the foreground, two figures stand in a field, their silhouettes adding depth to this picturesque landscape. Perhaps they are contemplating the beauty before them or engaging in conversation about days gone by. This remarkable print captures not only architectural details but also emotions associated with time passing and memories fading away. Preserved within The William Salt Library in Staffordshire, UK, it stands as a testament to our desire to connect with our past while appreciating artistry that transcends generations.
