A Close Shave
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of nostalgia and recollection. The image showcases an English School's illustration for "Brighton and its Coaches" by William C A Blew, beautifully brought to life with hand-coloured details. In this vibrant print, we are transported to a bustling scene on Brighton Beach. The focal point is a magnificent coach pulled by a team of spirited horses, their muscles glistening under the sunlight. It seems as though they have just narrowly avoided disaster, hence the title "A Close Shave". The tension in their expressions and the intensity of their gallop suggest they were racing against time. Surrounding them are other animals - ponies grazing peacefully in the background and farm animals adding life to this picturesque setting. This artwork not only captures the beauty of these creatures but also highlights their role in transportation during that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout; from each stroke highlighting every strand of horsehair to meticulously depicting every wheel spoke on the coach. Through this stunning composition, we can almost hear hooves thundering across sandy shores and feel ourselves being transported back in time. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve moments long gone. It invites us into a world where horses ruled transportations, coaches were symbols of elegance, and Brighton Beach was alive with activity.
