EDITORS COMMENTS
The Steine (An Excursion to Brighthelmstone), June 1,1790 captures the vibrant atmosphere of Brighton in the 18th century. This black and white aquatint print by Thomas Rowlandson and Samuel Alken Senior takes us back to a time when this coastal resort town was emerging as a popular destination for leisure and relaxation. The scene depicts The Steine, a bustling street lined with elegant buildings that served as post houses for travelers. People from all walks of life can be seen strolling along the promenade, enjoying the fresh sea breeze. The sepia tones add a touch of nostalgia, transporting us to an era of regency elegance. Rowlandson's meticulous etching technique brings out intricate details in each building, showcasing the architectural beauty of old Brighton. Meanwhile, Alken's skillful use of shading creates depth and texture within the scene. This print is not just a visual representation but also serves as a historical document capturing an important moment in British history. It offers us insight into how Brighton looked during its early days as a fashionable seaside resort. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating such prints during the 18th century.
