Brighton From The Station Yard
From the Brighton Aquatints suite. Hand coloured edition of 55.
Notes by the artist: Brighton from the Station Yard.
This is the first view of Brighton which many visitors get. Perhaps after a stuffy train journey it is disappointing not to find oneself delivered right on the beach, but the view of Brighton's villas climbing the further hill by Kemp Town, beyond the gay, jumbled foreground is a compensation. there are other English towns to be seen from neighbouring hills spreading out in the same semi-ordered way, but in few others is the air so clear, the whole look of the place so sharp and clean. Quite absent is the midland haze or the foliaged softness of the West. The only haze that Brighton knows is the early-morning mist, or the all-obscuring sea-fog. Even critical William Cobbett, when he got over his megrims about the Pavilion, was complimentary bout the air and the houses, and said generously of the town that it 'certainly surpassed in beauty all other towns in the world. In this picture, the street in the midledistance leads down towards the Pavilion. The white church (St Peter's) was built by Barry. (A later and bigger building of his was the London houses of Parliament.)
