The Cottage Homes Of England
As New, 64 Full Col Illustr. 45 B/w Drawings.originally Published In 1909. Reprinted By Bracken Books In 1991.set In Unpolluted Country, Unshaken By Motor Traffic, Helen Allingham"s Are The Cottages (but With Plumbing And Electricity Added) We Should All Like To Own. She Painted Them In Peaceful Edwardian Days, In Spring And Summer, Under Cloudless Skies. Although At This Time She Lived In London, She Could Not Keep Away From The Country And Particularly The Surrey She Once Knew And Loved. Chiefly, her subjects come from southern England - Kent, Surrey, Sussex are her favourite counties - but she did go as far afield as Alderley Edge in Cheshire, and it is in this picture we see the only blackened timbers in the book. Hers is a green world in which everything grows unchecked: trees dwarf the buildings, creepers reach the chimney tops, herbaceous borders flourish. The cottages sink into the landscape, and sometimes hardly a window shows behind the thick hedges. The artist is never without an excuse for colour: lilac, gorse, bluebells, sunflowers, hollyhocks, faded brick, worn tile, silver stone. Her paint takes on the texture of thatch, plaster, moss, weathered oak, the cob-walls of Devon, and Cotswold limestone. To us
