EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching captures the essence of Old House in Lyme Regis, a charming yet derelict three-storey building nestled in the picturesque town of Lyme Regis, located in the beautiful county of West Dorset, England. The image, estimated to be created around 1915, showcases the house's aged and weathered facade, with peeling paint, overgrown ivy, and missing roof tiles. The etching's intricate details bring to life the textures and patterns of the old bricks, creating a sense of history and nostalgia. The Old House, with its gabled roof and tall chimneys, stands out against the backdrop of the town's vibrant colors and activity. The scene is further enhanced by the inclusion of a few passersby, dressed in the fashion of the early 20th century, adding a sense of context and time. This etching was originally published in a July volume of a popular magazine, likely around the same time it was created. The artist is believed to be Nora Munro Summers, a talented etcher and illustrator known for her detailed and expressive work. Her unique style and attention to detail bring the Old House to life, allowing viewers to experience the charm and history of Lyme Regis from a bygone era. The Old House in Lyme Regis remains a beloved and iconic landmark, inspiring artists and visitors alike with its rich history and timeless beauty. This etching serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this quaint and historic town, inviting us to imagine the stories and secrets that lie within its walls.
