EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Old Putney Bridge, 1879 (1904)", takes us back to the late 19th century in London, England. Created by renowned artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler and featured in Mortimer Menpes' book "Whistler As I Knew Him", this etching beautifully captures a serene scene along the River Thames. The image showcases Old Putney Bridge, an iconic landmark that has stood since the 18th century. The bridge gracefully arches over the tranquil waters of the river, creating a picturesque backdrop for various watercrafts passing beneath it. A rowing boat can be seen gliding peacefully through the calm currents, adding a sense of movement to this otherwise still moment frozen in time. Whistler's artistic style aligns with tonalism, emphasizing atmospheric effects and subtle variations of light and shade. This choice lends itself perfectly to capturing the ethereal beauty of this scene. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless quality of this work of art. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era when transportation relied heavily on rivers as vital arteries connecting communities. It serves as a reminder of how integral these waterways were in shaping cities like London. With its impeccable attention to detail and masterful composition, "Old Putney Bridge" stands as a testament to Whistler's skill as an artist and his ability to capture both physical structures and intangible atmospheres within his works.
