The New Mill - A Glimpse into 19th Century Rural Life in North Devon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white albumen print, captured by John Percy in 1856, transports us back to a simpler time in the picturesque countryside of Lynton, North Devon. The focal point of this image is the magnificent water mill that stands proudly amidst its natural surroundings. The mill's weathered exterior tells tales of years gone by, showcasing the enduring spirit of British heritage. Its rustic charm is accentuated by lush ferns and vibrant plant life that thrive in the damp environment surrounding it. This harmonious blend between man-made structure and nature creates a serene atmosphere that seems frozen in time. Percy's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this rural landscape but also the intricate workings of the watermill itself. The large wheel at its side speaks volumes about an era when such mills were essential for grinding grain and powering local industries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are reminded of regionalism and how it shaped communities like Lynton during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to our rich cultural history while offering a glimpse into rural life before modernization took hold. Through Percy's lens, we are transported to an idyllic world where simplicity reigns supreme - a world where man coexists harmoniously with nature through structures like The New Mill.
