EDITORS COMMENTS
The Water Party: tourists abandon a sea voyage due to bad weather. This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson captures the essence of a failed sea excursion in 19th century England. The aquatint, created by J. C. Stadler, beautifully brings to life the sketch by J. Green from Poetical Sketches of Scarborough. In this scene, we see a group of British tourists eagerly embarking on their sea voyage, only to be met with treacherous weather conditions. The dark clouds loom overhead as rain pours down upon them, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and disappointment. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of the print - from the intricate engravings of the boat and lighthouse to the expressions on each tourist's face. We can sense their frustration and resignation as they huddle together under umbrellas and seek shelter in baskets. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst our best-laid plans, nature has its own agenda. It speaks to the resilience and adaptability required when faced with unexpected challenges during travel. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only a momentary setback for these tourists but also gain insight into the cultural norms and aspirations of 19th century Britain.
