EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Old Rowley" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Derby, England during the 18th century. The image showcases a man known as Rowland Millington, affectionately referred to as Old Rowley, who was a prominent street character in this era. In the print, we see Old Rowley taking a leisurely stroll through town with his trusted walking stick in hand. His weathered face tells tales of wisdom and experience, while his eyes seem to hold secrets from years gone by. With each step he takes, it's as if he carries the weight of history on his shoulders. What makes this engraving truly remarkable is that Old Rowley is depicted holding a brush alongside his walking stick. This detail hints at another aspect of his persona – an artist or perhaps even a sign painter. It adds an intriguing layer to this already enigmatic figure. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported into Old Rowley's world; witnessing him meandering through Derby's cobblestone streets with grace and purpose. Through Joseph Wright's masterful craftsmanship, we catch a glimpse into the life and spirit of one man who left an indelible mark on the city he called home.
