Going to the Ferry, Appledore, 1856 - A Glimpse into Victorian Coastal Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil on canvas painting by Charles Thomas Burt takes us back in time to the coastal village of Appledore in 1856. The scene captures a moment of bustling activity amidst inclement weather. As rain pours down and winds whip through the air, a couple braves the elements with their faithful dog by their side. In this maritime setting, a sailing boat can be seen anchored near the shoreline, waiting for passengers eager to cross over to their destination. A donkey stands patiently nearby, laden with baskets that hint at a local trade or perhaps provisions for the journey ahead. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the atmospheric conditions of this rainy day. The couple shields themselves from the rain under an umbrella while clutching walking sticks for support against gusts of wind. Their clothing suggests they are dressed appropriately for such weather - practicality prevailing over fashion. Burt's painting not only offers us a glimpse into daily life during Victorian times but also invites contemplation about our relationship with nature and how we adapt to its whims. It serves as a reminder that despite adverse conditions, human resilience prevails as individuals continue their journeys even when faced with challenging circumstances. Displayed at Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK, this artwork provides an opportunity for viewers today to appreciate both Burt's artistic talent and gain insight into historical coastal living in
