EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch of the Swithland area in Leicestershire, England, dating back to 1859, was created by the Reverend Baden Powell, father of the renowned founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell. The scene showcases the picturesque landscape of the region, featuring Kinchley Hill at the top with its granite outcrops, a small granite quarry to the right, Buddon Wood (also known as Buddon Granite) in the midground, and Charnwood Forest, with its distinctive slate formations, to the left. The Victorian-era artist masterfully captured the charm of the 1850s countryside, with quaint houses and cottages nestled among the hills and woods. The Reverend Powell's intricate ink drawing provides a glimpse into the history of the region, which was once a significant center for both granite and slate quarrying. The quarries, though not commercially active in this image, played a crucial role in the local economy and contributed to the development of the area. The granite from Swithland was highly sought after for its durability and was used in various construction projects, including the construction of the Victoria Memorial in London. This beautiful sketch is a testament to the rich heritage of Swithland and the importance of its natural resources. It also serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the natural world and the people who lived and worked in this area during the 19th century. The Reverend Powell's artistic vision invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of Swithland and the role it played in shaping the world around us.
