EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Old Houses, St. Peters Gate, Nottingham" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th-century England. Painted by Reuben Bussey between 1842 and 1870, this masterpiece captures the essence of daily life during that era. The scene depicts a charming cityscape with its timber-framed houses lining the narrow alleyways. The architecture showcases the distinctive Tudor style prevalent in Nottingham at that time. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where horses were still a common mode of transportation. Figures on horseback can be seen traversing through the busy street, adding movement and liveliness to the composition. It's fascinating to observe how people from different walks of life coexist within this vibrant city scene – sportswomen and sportsmen engaging in horse riding activities alongside ordinary townsfolk going about their daily routines. Reproduced as a print by Bridgeman Images, this painting offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only Bussey's skillful brushwork but also gain insight into English history and culture. Preserved by Nottingham City Museums and Galleries at Nottingham Castle, it serves as a valuable reminder of our rich architectural heritage and how our cities have evolved over time. As we delve into this artwork, let us immerse ourselves in its intricate details and imagine what life must have been like for those who once walked these historic streets centuries ago.
