EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a picturesque scene in Polperro, Cornwall during the 1920s. The artwork, painted by renowned landscape artist Alfred Robert Quinton for J. Salmon publishing company, showcases a man and his trusty donkey making their way through the quaint village streets. The whitewashed houses and stone steps provide a beautiful backdrop to this timeless moment.
The donkey carries a basket on its back, perhaps filled with goods from the local market or supplies for the day ahead. The man walks alongside his loyal companion, embodying a sense of simplicity and tradition that is characteristic of rural life in England.
Quinton's skillful brushstrokes bring this scene to life, capturing the essence of Cornish charm and tranquility. This postcard-worthy image serves as a reminder of days gone by when life moved at a slower pace and simple pleasures were cherished.
As you gaze upon this painting, you can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestone streets and feel the salty sea breeze blowing in from the nearby coast. It is a snapshot of history frozen in time, inviting us to step back into an era where beauty was found in everyday moments like this one in Polperro.
