EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Kensington Turnpike, London, c1810" by artist William Pickett takes us on a journey back in time to the peaceful and rustic countryside of 19th century England. The aquatint technique used in this artwork beautifully captures the essence of tranquility and rural life during that era. In the foreground, we see a cart gracefully making its way along the turnpike road, symbolizing the importance of road transport in connecting communities. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail, from the barns and buildings dotting the landscape to the wagons parked in a nearby yard. The location itself holds historical significance as it belongs to Kensington and Chelsea boroughs. This scenic view showcases an idyllic corner of London that is often overshadowed by its bustling cityscape. As we admire this piece at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, we are reminded of William Pickett's talent for capturing moments frozen in time. His attention to detail transports us into a world where simplicity reigns supreme. This print evokes feelings of nostalgia while also reminding us how far transportation has come since then. It serves as a reminder that amidst our fast-paced lives today, there is still beauty to be found in moments of tranquility and rural charm.
