EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Views in and around Reading" takes us on a journey back to the 19th century, immersing us in the rich history and picturesque landscapes of this English town. The engraving showcases a collection of scenes that were featured in The Illustrated London News on July 8,1882. From the bustling streets adorned with charming architecture to the serene Sonning Reach, every detail captured by the anonymous English School artist tells a story. One can almost hear the echoes of students at Grammar School as they pass through Clappers or envision patients seeking solace at Royal Berkshire Hospital. The image also offers glimpses into Reading's past with its ruins of Reading Abbey and Assize Courts, reminding us of its significant place in history. Forbury Gardens stands proudly amidst this tapestry, inviting visitors to take respite from their daily lives. Market-goers are seen engaging in lively exchanges near Abbey Gateway while Caversham adds another layer to this visual narrative. This artwork truly encapsulates not only topographical aspects but also captures the essence and spirit of Berkshire. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where time seemed slower yet filled with vibrant energy. It serves as a reminder that even within our modern world, there is beauty and inspiration waiting to be discovered when we take a moment to appreciate our surroundings.
