Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
It is many years since a major exhibition in England was devoted to
the work of the whole of Samuel Palmer??'s circle, ???The
Ancients???, a group of young men which included, among others, the
painters George and Welby Sherman, all of whom were much influenced
by William Blake. Most recent exhibitions devoted to Palmer himself
have stressed his early work of about 1835???35 - much of it done
in the village of Shoreham in Kent - at the expense of his still
interesting later work. This has tended to give an unbalanced view
of the artist, and the present exhibition endeavours to correct
this; it also relates Palmer??'s work to other members of the
circle, and endeavours to demonstrate that the work of the Ancients
is part of a wide European tradition and was created under the
influence of artists such as D??rer, Ruisdael, and Nazarenes and
especially Claude Lorrain. This fully annotated and illustrated
catalogue considers all of these matters and in addition notes the
strong literary influences on the work of Palmer, in particular
that of the poems of John Milton.
