EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch of the Buckinghamshire countryside, created by the Reverend Baden Powell in 1859, captures the picturesque beauty of the English rural landscape near Hawridge, just a quarter of a mile from the local church towards Chesham. The scene is marked by the presence of both chalk (A) and sand (B) formations, adding geological interest to the idyllic setting. The reverend, who is the father of the renowned founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell, portrays a quiet, serene roadside scene with a winding country lane, a grassy bank, and a gravel path leading into the distance. The image transports us back to the 1850s, inviting us to imagine a leisurely stroll through the picturesque Buckinghamshire countryside. The sketch, rendered in ink, showcases the artist's skillful use of line and shading to create depth and texture. This work of art is a testament to the enduring charm of the English countryside and the simple pleasures of a country walk.
