A Garden Scene in 1840 - a photo on Flickriver

            It's not often that we get a glimpse of ordinary daily life in the 1840s - and in colour.

Most paintings tend to have a message and are carefully composed.

This, to me, is far more like a photograph. I think it's the washing on the line that does it. How more mundane could it be?

It was painted by Charles Robert Leslie in the back garden of his home at 12 Pine Apple Place, Edgware Road, St Marylebone, Middlesex.

The artist's son, George Dunlop Leslie, is shown playing with his toy horse and cart. George had been born at Pine Apple Place in 1835. He died at Compton House, Lindfield, Sussex in 1921

At the the time of the 1841 census, Leslie was still living at Pine Apple Place with his wife Harriet and children Robert, Caroline, Bradford, Mary and George.
