EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque Highbury Place in Islington, London, in the year 1787. Created by renowned artist Robert Pollard, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of rural life during the eighteenth century. The west view of Highbury Place showcases a serene landscape with rolling farmland stretching into the distance. In this scene, cattle graze peacefully in the foreground, adding an authentic touch to this idyllic countryside setting. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless charm of this image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail from sky to tree. Highbury Place was once a quaint village on the outskirts of bustling London. This print transports us back in time when agriculture played a vital role in shaping England's landscape. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when nature and farming were deeply intertwined. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical gem offers viewers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. With its meticulous aquatint technique and masterful composition by artists such as Francis Jukes and James B Allen alongside Robert Dodd's skilled craftsmanship, it is no wonder that this piece has stood the test of time.
