This is an original 1939 tipped-in color print of Joseph Turner's
Crossing the Brook. A Romantic predecessor of the Impressionism movement, he was a talented watercolor and landscape painter who was noted for his unique fashion of rearranging nature to suit his fancy, that is, combining elements he particularly liked such as a certain bridge or tree and painting them together in one seemingly cohesive scene.
