EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Fontarabia, from Sketches of scenery in the Basque provinces of Spain" takes us on a visual journey to the picturesque region of northern Spain. The artist, Henry Wilkinson, skillfully captures the essence of this enchanting place through his intricate details and vibrant colors. The focal point of the print is a covered boat gracefully gliding along the tranquil waters of Bidassoa River, with its reflection shimmering beneath. In the background, majestic mountains rise proudly against a clear blue sky, creating a breathtaking backdrop for this idyllic scene. A wooden bridge connects both sides of Fontarabia (also known as Hondarribia or Fuenterrabía), adding an architectural charm to this coastal town. Fishermen can be seen going about their daily routines, casting their nets and tending to their boats. Their presence adds life and authenticity to this snapshot of traditional Basque culture. The sailing barge in the distance further emphasizes the importance of maritime activities in this region. It serves as a reminder that fishing has long been an integral part of Basque livelihoods and traditions. This exquisite engraving not only showcases Wilkinson's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into the beauty and tranquility that can be found in northern Spain's Basque country. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in its rich history, natural wonders, and cultural heritage captured within these delicate lines and hues.
