EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lock on the Kennet, 1889" by Thomas Collier takes us back to a simpler time in rural England. The image showcases a picturesque scene along the Kennet and Avon Canal in Berkshire during the late 19th century. Despite the cloudy and windy day, nature's beauty shines through with vibrant colors that bring life to this tranquil landscape. The lock stands proudly amidst vastness, its rustic charm blending seamlessly with the surrounding countryside. Hay bales dotting the fields add an element of authenticity to this snapshot of rural life from over a century ago. The water transport system represented by the canal symbolizes an era when such means were essential for trade and transportation. Preserved within Frederick John Nettleford's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into history as it was cataloged in C. Reginald Grundy and F. Gordon Roe's volume published in 1933. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed since then while also highlighting enduring aspects of English culture. Thomas Collier's skillful use of watercolor brings out every detail, capturing both the serenity and energy present at that moment in time. As we admire this artwork today, we are transported back to an idyllic past where simplicity reigned supreme along these peaceful canalside settings.
