EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dance and The Departure: Illustrations from The Deserted Village, England, 1790/1800. Scene inspired by a poem by Oliver Goldsmith, after engraving by John Keyse Sherwin. This print captures the essence of rural life in 18th century England. Set against a backdrop of lush countryside, it depicts a vibrant scene filled with people and animals. In the foreground, we see men, women, and children engaged in joyful dance - their colorful clothing adding to the lively atmosphere. The fabric they wear is made of cotton plain weave, showcasing the skillful textile weaving techniques of that era. Amidst the dancers are dogs playfully frolicking around while a donkey stands calmly nearby. These animals were an integral part of rural life during this time period and symbolize both companionship and labor. The second half of the image portrays a departure scene as travelers bid farewell to their loved ones. A sense of longing permeates through their expressions as they prepare for emigration or travel to unknown destinations. This artwork not only showcases skilled copperplate printing but also serves as propaganda for regionalism - highlighting the beauty and charm of English countryside living. Through this print from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to experience rustic simplicity and appreciate the rich heritage captured within these illustrations.
