As the rail system rapidly expanded across Britain, it produced new ways for people and goods to move across the country and new ways of viewing the land. Although depicted from within the fields themselves, the sweeping view is perhaps indicative of the panoramic vistas afforded passengers on a rapidly moving train.","remarks":"K2 Corridor Rotation British Landscapes February 2016"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"Helen Tatlock, the artist’s daughter; by descent to Harriet Helen Tatlock (d. 1922); by whom given to Muriel Bostock (d. 1941); bequeathed by her to her companion, in whose collection it remained until 2004; with Agnew’s, London; auction, Christie’s, London, June 4, 2008, lot (bought in) (See reference Bib. 5549); auction, Sotheby’s, London, July 6, 2010, lot; private collection until 2012.;","remarks":null}],"datebegin":1847,"sortnumber":"2015 16","published_date":"2026-02-11 14:14:54.252332","objectid":109047,"dimensions":"22.9 x 66.5 cm (9 x 26 3/16 in.)\r\nframe: 43.8 x 87.6 x 1.9 cm (17 1/4 x 34 1/2 x 3/4 in.)","on_view":false}
