EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled "A1, Burley Hall, Menston Mill and Esholt, 1849" takes us back to the picturesque landscapes of 19th-century England. Created by Joshua Thorp in collaboration with Martin & Fox, this detailed print is a part of the Map of ten miles around Leeds. The image showcases the beauty and charm of three notable landmarks in West Yorkshire. At the forefront stands A1, also known as Burley Hall, an elegant manor house surrounded by lush greenery. Its grandeur is complemented by Menston Mill on its left side—a charming watermill nestled beside a flowing stream. On the right side emerges Esholt village—an idyllic settlement that exudes tranquility. The hand-coloring technique used in this engraving adds depth and vibrancy to every element captured within it. The soft hues bring out the natural beauty of the landscape while highlighting architectural details with precision. As we gaze upon this artwork from Leeds Museums and Galleries' collection at Leeds Art Gallery, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace—a time when these structures were not just buildings but symbols of community and heritage. Through this print's intricate details and exquisite coloring, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such engravings during that era and gain insight into how our surroundings have evolved over time. It serves as a reminder to cherish our history while embracing progress for future generations to come.
