The Crown Inn, Broxbourne, 1880s - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting countryside of Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, England during the late 19th century. The image showcases "The Crown Inn" a charming building that stood proudly by the roadside. Created by renowned photographer Peter Henry Emerson, this photogravure captures a moment frozen in time. As we delve into this piece of art, we are transported to an era where life moved at a slower pace. The bridge spanning over a tranquil river adds depth and character to the scene while reflecting Britain's rich architectural heritage. In this solitary view, one man stands near the inn's entrance – perhaps an innkeeper or just an observer taking in his surroundings. His presence gives us insight into daily life during that period and invites us to imagine conversations held within those walls. Emerson's meticulous attention to detail is evident as every line and texture is beautifully rendered through photogravure technique. This particular print comes from his album titled "The Compleat Angler or The Contemplative Man's Recreation" which was published in 1888. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers historical significance for enthusiasts of both photography and British culture. It reminds us how art can transport us across time and space, allowing us to appreciate our shared human experiences throughout history.
