EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Houses, 1872" by William Fettes Douglas takes us back in time to the rural countryside of 19th century Scotland. The image showcases a cluster of dilapidated cottages and farms, each telling its own story through their ramshackle appearance and crumbling structures. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the essence of these old houses with precision. The worn-out thatched roofs, weathered walls, and overgrown surroundings transport us to a simpler era where hardworking individuals once called these places home. As we gaze at this artwork, we can't help but wonder about the lives lived within these walls. Were they farmers tending to their crops? Or perhaps workers cottages for laborers who tirelessly labored nearby? Each house seems to hold secrets from days long gone. Displayed at The McManus in Dundee, UK as part of the Orchar Collection, this piece serves as a reminder of our rich history and the importance of preserving our heritage. It invites viewers to reflect on how time changes landscapes and communities while celebrating the beauty found even in decay. Douglas' skillful use of watercolors brings life to this snapshot from yesteryears. Through his artistry, he immortalizes these forgotten homes and allows us an intimate glimpse into Scotland's past.
