EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of Reading (engraving)" takes us back in time to the year 1882. The image showcases a collection of intricate sketches by Frank Watkins, an artist who flourished during the late 19th century. These sketches were originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 8th, providing readers with a visual journey through the town of Reading. The engravings depict various scenes and aspects of life in Reading, including aerial views, topography, show yards, and townscapes. It is evident that Watkins had a keen eye for detail as he captured the essence of this bustling Berkshire town. One can almost imagine strolling through the streets or witnessing agricultural shows held by the Royal Agricultural Society. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been preserved meticulously over time. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Watkins' talent while gaining insight into historical events and landscapes. As we gaze upon these remarkable sketches, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten. They serve as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with our society's history and culture. This print from Bridgeman Images offers us an opportunity to admire both artistic skill and the rich heritage encapsulated within each stroke of Frank Watkins' pen or brush.
