EDITORS COMMENTS
Salisbury Wall, Side of the Fox under the Hill, London" is a captivating watercolor drawing by the renowned Irish artist James Moore, created in the year 1881. This exquisite piece of art depicts a section of the Salisbury Wall, located in the Fox under the Hill area of London. The wall, a remnant of the old city fortifications, is seen here with its intricate brickwork and moss-covered surface, standing tall against the backdrop of a bustling urban landscape. The title of the work references the Fox under the Hill, a historical pub that once stood nearby, which was known for its notorious reputation. Moore's masterful use of watercolor technique brings the scene to life, with the rich, earthy tones of the wall contrasting beautifully against the vibrant greens of the foliage and the muted blues and grays of the sky. The delicate brushstrokes and attention to detail are evident in the way the artist has captured the texture of the wall, the folds of the fabric hanging from the clothesline, and the intricate patterns of the leaves on the trees. This drawing offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London was a city of contrasts - a place where ancient history and modern progress coexisted. The Salisbury Wall, with its storied past and the Fox under the Hill pub, stood as a reminder of the city's rich history, even as new developments and changes were taking place around it. James Moore's "Salisbury Wall, Side of the Fox under the Hill, London" is a testament to the power of art to capture a moment in time and preserve it for future generations to appreciate. This stunning watercolor drawing is a must-have for any collection of historical London art or for those with an appreciation for the beauty and intrigue of urban landscapes.
