EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Country Inn, 1787" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the charming British countryside in the 18th century. The image showcases a picturesque country inn nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery. Its rustic charm is enhanced by the presence of a horse-drawn cart parked outside, symbolizing the era's primary mode of transportation. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element of this scene. From the intricate etching on the building's facade to the vibrant colors that bring life to both nature and people, Rowlandson captures the essence of rural Britain during this period. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly "The Feathers" as indicated by its sign hanging above one entrance. This public house serves as a gathering place for locals and travelers alike, offering respite from their journeys through winding roads and vast landscapes. As we observe this print, we can't help but imagine ourselves stepping into this idyllic setting - perhaps enjoying a hearty meal or engaging in lively conversation with fellow patrons. It reminds us of simpler times when community bonds were forged over shared experiences at such establishments. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, Rowlandson's work continues to transport viewers across centuries and evoke feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era.
