One of the finest painters of the English Lake District and "a truthful and unpretending artist, who wooed nature rather than popular favor," William Blacklock was born in London. In 1818, the family moved to a small village in what is now Cumbria in the north of England. Apprenticed to Charles Thurnam, a publisher and bookseller in Carlisle, Blacklock would eventually study painting at the Academy of Art, where he also began exhibiting in 1833. He moved to London in 1836 where he had a successful career as a painter until ill health precipitated his return north where he was hospitalized. Blacklock died at the age of 42 from paralytic dementia.

- Coach and horses at full speed, Paris, Boulogne-sur-SeineLocated in Stockholm, SEThis small watercolor painting by Anna Palm de Rosa, titled "Coach and horses at full speed, Boulogne-sur-Seine," is a vibrant and dynamic piece that captures a moment of speed and elegance from the past. The scene is set in what was known then as Boulogne-sur-Seine, now Boulogne-Billancourt, prior to its name change in 1926. The artwork is only like a postcard and depicts a horse-drawn carriage in full gallop, stirring up a cloud of dust along the gravel path. This sense of motion is further emphasized by one of the ladies on the carriage, who is seen clutching her hat, a detail that adds a personal touch to the scene and underscores the speed at which they are traveling. The artist's ability to capture such a fleeting moment, with the horses' hooves barely touching the ground and the dust cloud swirling around, is a testament to her skill and the liveliness of her compositions.
