EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "The Run Of The Downs" captures the essence of the English countryside in all its glory. Created by Donald Maxwell, a renowned artist known for his illustrations, this colour lithograph is part of a private collection. The image depicts a picturesque scene featuring Ditchling Beacon and Clanctonbury Ring, two iconic landmarks in Sussex, England. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's verse, this illustration was originally published in the book "Sea and Sussex" beautifully bringing to life Kipling's poetic words. In the foreground of the print, we see a lone motorcycle rider traversing Truleigh Hill with great speed and determination. The juxtaposition of man-made machinery against the natural beauty of rolling hills creates an intriguing contrast that symbolizes human progress within nature's embrace. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported to another time and place – perhaps early 20th century England or even further back into history. It evokes feelings of freedom, adventure, and exploration as we imagine ourselves riding alongside the passenger on their exhilarating journey through the Downs. With its vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print not only celebrates English poetry but also showcases Maxwell's exceptional talent as an illustrator. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how art can transport us to different worlds with just one glance.
