EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wooden House near the Water" takes us back to the late 19th century in America, specifically Manchester, Massachusetts. The image showcases an early idea for what would become known as Cliffs, a picturesque area that still stands today. Arthur Little, a renowned artist of his time and part of the artistic movement, captured this scene with precision and artistry. The wooden house stands proudly against the backdrop of cliffs and sea, embodying colonial charm and heritage. Its detached structure allows it to blend harmoniously with its natural surroundings. The color palette chosen by Little brings out the vibrant hues of both land and water. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to a simpler time when country living was embraced amidst breathtaking geographical features. The veranda invites us to imagine lazy afternoons spent enjoying cool breezes from the water while taking in panoramic views. Little's skillful use of watercolor and graphite adds depth and texture to this piece of art. It is evident that he sought not only to capture a moment but also convey a sense of place through his work. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print serves as a reminder of America's rich history and architectural beauty during the 19th century. It reminds us how important it is to preserve our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and cherish.
