Description: | The painting used here, as is indicated on the side of the tin, is 'A Summer Day in Hyde Park'. The artist is John Ritchie and it was painted in 1858. It is a typical mid-Victorian social painting, which attempts to capture the range of classes and their relationships that existed at that time. It belongs to the same genre as 'The Dancing Platform at Cremorne Gardens' (1864) by Phoebus Levin, also from the Museum of London, which was used on the 'Cremorne Gardens' tin of 1978. The symmetrical foliate patterning on the lid is very close in style to the patterning used on the 'Golden Scroll' tin of 1970-1980. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | carriage horse John Ritchie fishing rod boat landscape recreation environment tree costume childhood dog animal | Temporal: | start=1981-01-01; end=1981-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Huntley, Boorne & Stevens | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
