EDITORS COMMENTS
Balloch Ferry on Loch Lomond" is a captivating sketch by the Reverend Baden Powell, the father of the renowned founder of Scouting, Robert Baden-Powell. This beautiful watercolor painting, created in 1834, offers a glimpse into the picturesque Balloch Ferry on the shores of Loch Lomond in Scotland. The Reverend Powell, who was born in London but spent much of his childhood in Scotland, captured the essence of the Scottish landscape with remarkable detail and sensitivity. The scene depicts a serene and idyllic setting, with a small wooden ferry boat making its way across the tranquil waters of Loch Lomond. The people in the painting, dressed in the fashion of the 1830s, are going about their daily business, adding a sense of authenticity to the image. The lush green trees and rolling hills in the background contrast beautifully with the calm waters of the loch, creating a breathtaking and timeless scene. The Reverend Powell's connection to Scotland runs deep, as he spent many years living and working in the country. His experiences in Scotland, particularly his love for the outdoors and the natural world, would later influence his son's development of the Scouting movement. The Scout Association, which Robert Baden-Powell founded in 1907, is dedicated to promoting outdoor activities, adventure, and personal development, values that can be seen reflected in this early sketch by the Reverend Powell. This evocative painting, with its rich history and connection to the founding of the Scouting movement, is a must-have for any collection of Scottish art or for those with an interest in the history of Scouting. The image invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of life, much like the Scouting movement encourages us to do every day.
