EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wye, from Chepstow Castle, 1870s: Capturing the Serenity of Monmouthshire's River Wye". In this print by Josiah Wood Whymper, we are transported back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Wales. The image showcases a man perched atop Chepstow Castle, engrossed in sketching the picturesque River Wye below. Chepstow Castle itself stands proudly as Britain's oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification, its architectural grandeur adding depth and character to the scene. With his bowler hat and elegant attire typical of the era, our protagonist epitomizes Victorian leisurely pursuits. Whymper's meticulous engraving beautifully captures every detail - from the intricate archways and fortifications of Chepstow Castle to the meandering river that winds through Monmouthshire. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to this moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves transported into that serene landscape. It evokes a sense of relaxation and tranquility; a perfect escape from bustling city life. Perhaps it was during his holiday or vacation that Whymper found solace in capturing such breathtaking scenes on paper. "The Wye, from Chepstow Castle" is not merely an artwork but also an invitation for us to appreciate nature's beauty and immerse ourselves in history. Through Whymper's skilled hand, he invites us to join him on this visual journey along one of Wales' most iconic riverscapes.
