EDITORS COMMENTS
My House in the Woods: A Glimpse into Lord Baden-Powell's Campsite Retreat This enchanting watercolour painting captures the essence of Lord Robert Baden-Powell's (1857-1941) beloved campsite, affectionately known as his 'house in the woods.' The British Army officer and founder of the Scout Movement spent many summers at this secluded location, embracing the simple pleasures of nature and sharing his passion for the outdoors with others. Arrows on this print guide the viewer through the various areas of Lord Baden-Powell's humble abode. The first arrow points to the main house, where the Chief Scout and his family resided. The second arrow leads to the tent, which served as a gathering place for Scouts and visitors. The third arrow indicates the head of the house, Lord Baden-Powell himself, who is depicted seated on a rock, engrossed in thought. The final arrow draws attention to the nearby lake, which functioned as the bathroom during Lord Baden-Powell's stays. The lake's clear waters reflect the surrounding trees and the spirit of adventure that permeated the campsite. This exquisite watercolour painting, created in the 1910s, offers a unique glimpse into the life of the man who inspired millions of young people around the world to explore the great outdoors and develop essential life skills. The artist's skillful use of colour and detail brings Lord Baden-Powell's woodland sanctuary to life, transporting us to a simpler time when the joys of nature and camaraderie reigned supreme.
