EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Hastings during the Recent Storm, View looking East" transports us back to a tempestuous day in 19th-century England. The dramatic scene captures the raw power of nature as it unleashes its fury upon the coastal town of Hastings in East Sussex. The print showcases a panoramic view of the coastline, with crashing waves and turbulent skies dominating the composition. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the frothy whitecaps on the sea's surface to the billowing clouds above. In this moment frozen in time, we can almost feel the strong gusts of wind whipping through our hair and taste saltwater on our lips. It is a reminder of both nature's beauty and its unyielding force. As we gaze at this engraving, we are reminded of how small and insignificant humanity can be when faced with such elemental power. Yet amidst this chaos, there is also resilience - buildings stand tall against raging winds, defying their destructive potential. This lithograph was originally created for The Illustrated London News in February 1899, capturing public fascination with extreme weather events even then. Today, it serves as a testament to human curiosity about our environment and an appreciation for art that captures fleeting moments forever etched into history.
