Detail

Behold an enormous-yet-intricate Rowland Emett sculpture, made of eight separate machines which come to life. This incredible sculpture was the last to be constructed by much-loved British artist Rowland Emett. A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley is a moving masterpiece from 1984 which depicts a whimsical journey along the Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Railway, a creation found in one of Emett's earlier cartoons.
