EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to colonial America, offering a glimpse into the bustling street scene of Boston. Painted by the talented artist Randolph Caldecott, this watercolor on paper captures the essence of family life during that era. The cobbled street serves as a stage for various characters and activities. A horse-drawn cart trundles along, adding to the lively atmosphere. The signs and shop fronts lining the road hint at the thriving commerce of this vibrant city. In the foreground, we see a mother and father accompanied by their children – two sisters and a brother. The parents appear engaged in conversation while their offspring observe with curiosity. It is evident that they are an affluent family, dressed elegantly in period attire. A nursemaid stands nearby, attentively watching over her charges - a son and daughter who seem eager to explore their surroundings. This painting beautifully depicts not only familial bonds but also highlights societal roles within colonial American society. Caldecott's skillful brushwork brings this historical moment to life with vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail. Through his illustration, he invites us to imagine ourselves walking these very streets centuries ago, witnessing daily life unfold before our eyes. This remarkable piece from Peter Newark American Pictures collection offers viewers an opportunity to connect with our country's rich history through artistry and storytelling.
