EDITORS COMMENTS
Whittlesey Mere at Morning" is a captivating and evocative watercolor painting by the Reverend Baden Powell (1796-1860), the father of the renowned British Army officer and founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell. The painting depicts the serene and picturesque scene of Whittlesey Mere in Cambridgeshire, located in the Fenland region of eastern England. The Reverend Powell masterfully captures the rural beauty of the area with its tranquil lake reflecting the morning sun, surrounded by lush greenery and the distant silhouette of a church spire. The peaceful scene is further accentuated by the gentle reflections of the clouds and the mist rising off the water's surface. The painting is believed to have been created between 1840 and 1860, during the Victorian era, a time when the Fenland landscape was undergoing significant transformation due to drainage projects and the growth of industry. The painting offers a glimpse into a simpler time, before the modernization of the area. The Reverend Powell's connection to the area is noteworthy, as he was the Rector of Whittlesey from 1835 to 1846. During this time, he would have been intimately familiar with the local landscape and its changing seasons. The painting reflects his appreciation for the natural beauty of the Fenland area and his dedication to capturing its essence through his art. The painting also serves as a reminder of the strong association between the Powell family and the Scouting movement. Robert Baden-Powell, inspired by his experiences as a boy scout in the Boy Scouts Association and later as a military officer, went on to found the Scout Movement in 1907. The values of self-reliance, community, and adventure that are central to Scouting can be seen reflected in the painting's depiction of the rugged, natural beauty of the Fenland landscape.
