EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sale at Wards Repository, No. 2, c. 1918" artist Robert Polhill Bevan transports us back in time to a bustling horse trading event. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation as customers and dealers gather in the courtyard of Wards Repository. The meticulous detail captured by Bevan's crayon and charcoal technique allows us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of commerce. A horse trader stands confidently, engaging with a potential customer who inspects one of the magnificent creatures on display. Grooms diligently attend to the horses, ensuring they are presented at their best for inspection. The composition exudes movement and energy as people move about, negotiating deals and exchanging information. The market seems alive with activity as buyers carefully evaluate each animal before making their decisions. Bevan's monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing both the historical significance of this moment and the enduring nature of trade itself. This remarkable artwork from Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection serves as a testament to Bevan's skillful portrayal of everyday life during this era. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with commerce while appreciating the rich history that unfolds within these walls at Wards Repository.
