Painting Description
"The Moor Guide" is an engraved work by Robert Havell the Elder, published in 1814 by Robinson and Son, Leeds. This piece is part of a larger collection of engravings that were created to accompany George Walker's "The Costume of Yorkshire," a significant publication that aimed to document and illustrate the various traditional costumes and occupations of the Yorkshire region during the early 19th century.
Robert Havell the Elder, a prominent engraver of his time, was known for his detailed and precise work, which played a crucial role in the visual documentation of British life and landscapes. His collaboration with George Walker on "The Costume of Yorkshire" resulted in a series of plates that not only captured the attire but also the essence of the daily lives of Yorkshire's inhabitants.
"The Moor Guide" specifically depicts a guide from the moorlands, an area characterized by its rugged terrain and unique cultural heritage. The engraving is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the guide's attire, which would have been practical and suited to the harsh conditions of the moors. The image provides valuable insight into the lifestyle and environment of the period, reflecting the social and economic activities that were prevalent in the Yorkshire moorlands.
Published by Robinson and Son, a reputable firm based in Leeds, the work was part of a broader effort to preserve and celebrate regional identities at a time when industrialization was beginning to transform the British landscape. "The Moor Guide" and the other engravings in Walker's collection serve as important historical records, offering a window into the past and contributing to our understanding of early 19th-century Yorkshire.
