EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching and drypoint, titled 'The Inn, Purfleet, 1869,' is a stunning work of art by the renowned English artist, Sir Francis Seymour Haden. The image transports us back to the 1860s, offering a glimpse into the past through its intricate details and evocative composition. The scene unfolds along the muddy riverbank of the Thames Estuary in Essex, England, where a quaint public house, known as The Inn, stands proudly. The title 'Purfleet' is etched into the lower right corner of the print, referring to the historic town located near the mouth of the Thames. Boats of various sizes and shapes dot the river, with paddlers and sailors navigating the waterway. A sailing boat with a red sail catches the wind, while smaller boats are tethered to the riverbank. People can be seen milling about, likely going about their daily business or enjoying a drink at the pub. The Inn, with its thatched roof and inviting sign, serves as a beacon of warmth and hospitality amidst the raw, natural beauty of the estuary. The buildings along the riverbank are etched with a sense of age and history, their walls weathered by the elements. This etching, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Britain during the Victorian era. Sir Francis Seymour Haden's masterful use of etching and drypoint techniques brings the bustling river scene to life, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era.
