EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1878, where we find ourselves standing on Richmond Bridge. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, beautifully preserved in time. The bridge stands tall and majestic, its arches gracefully spanning across the tranquil river below. A couple sits on a weathered bench nearby, their presence adding a touch of romance to the scene. The gentleman leans on his cane while his companion wraps herself in a delicate shawl, protecting her from the cool English breeze. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we notice rowing boats gliding effortlessly along the calm waters of the Thames River. These vessels serve as reminders of leisurely pastimes enjoyed by Victorian society during this period. This particular print is credited to James Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902), an acclaimed French artist known for his exquisite attention to detail and ability to capture intimate moments with great sensitivity. Kathleen Newton's name also appears alongside Tissot's as one of his muses - perhaps she is one half of this enchanting couple captured forever in this timeless image. With its nostalgic charm and historical significance, this print serves as both a visual delight and an intriguing glimpse into life during late 19th-century England.
