EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the verdant rolling hills of Herefordshire, in the heart of the 18th century, lies an idyllic apple orchard, a scene of tranquility and abundance. This exquisite print, dating back to circa 1710, captures the essence of this timeless landscape, as poet John Phillips pens his ode to the humble apple and the beloved drink it inspires - cider. The orchard is a symphony of green, with the gnarled branches of ancient apple trees reaching out towards the sun, their leaves a vibrant tapestry of shade and light. The trees are laden with ripe, red and golden fruit, ready to be plucked and transformed into the crisp, refreshing elixir that has long been a staple of rural life. Phillips' poem, illustrated so beautifully in this print, extols the virtues of the apple and the drink it produces. He writes of the apple as a symbol of health and vitality, a gift from nature that nourishes the body and lifts the spirits. And of cider, he praises its ability to bring people together, to foster camaraderie and to celebrate the simple pleasures of life. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are transported back in time, to an era when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple joys of nature were cherished and celebrated. This 18th century apple orchard, frozen in time by the brush of an unnamed artist, remains a testament to the enduring beauty and bounty of the natural world, and a reminder of the simple pleasures that have long inspired poets and dreamers alike.
