EDITORS COMMENTS
The sundial stood proudly in the Christian Gardens, a symbol of moderation and the passing of time. As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the garden, it reminded all who passed by to enjoy life's pleasures but not to let them consume you. The intricate design of the sundial spoke volumes about its importance as a garden god, guiding those who tended to its surroundings with care and attention.
The artist, Alfred Rawlings, captured this moment in stunning detail with his colour litho print. The vibrant hues bring out the beauty of the scene, from the lush greenery surrounding the sundial to the golden rays of sunlight streaming through the trees. It is a snapshot frozen in time, evoking feelings of peace and tranquility as day turns into night.
This image is not just a simple depiction of a sundial; it is a reminder to live in harmony with nature and appreciate each moment for what it is worth. Sir Frank Crisp's possession of this artwork at Friar Park only adds to its mystique and historical significance. It truly is a timeless piece that speaks volumes about our connection to both time and pleasure.
