EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Town and Port of Fordwich" an engraving created by Charles Auguste Loye in 1889. The image takes us back to a time when this charming town in Kent, England was bustling with activity. Fordwich's picturesque architecture is beautifully captured, showcasing the town hall and other buildings that line its streets. The river Stour gracefully flows through the scene, adding a touch of tranquility to the vibrant atmosphere. One cannot help but be drawn to the Drowning Wharf, which serves as a reminder of the perilous nature of life on these historic waterways. Loye's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving, capturing not only the physical features but also the essence and character of Fordwich. This piece was originally published in The Illustrated London News, further emphasizing its historical significance. As we admire this artwork from Charles Auguste Loye, it is worth noting that he hailed from Montbard, France.

This print offers viewers a glimpse into history while celebrating both English and French culture through artistry and craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to Loye's talent as an illustrator and provides us with an opportunity to appreciate the beauty found within small towns like Fordwich.
