EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Howland Great Dock, near Deptford, captured in a stunning engraving dating back to c. 1715-20. The intricate details of this artwork, created by J. Badslade and now held in a private collection, offer a fascinating glimpse into the bustling maritime activity of that era. The image presents a bird's eye view of Howland Great Dock along with its neighboring areas such as Rotherhithe and Bermondsey. As the first wet dock on the south side of the Thames and only the second in London at that time, it played a significant role in facilitating trade for merchant ships. In 1763, it was renamed Greenland Dock after being purchased by the South Sea Company for lease to whaling ships until 1809. In this engraving, one can also spot glimpses of the city of London shimmering in the distance, adding an enchanting touch to an already mesmerizing scene. The presence of various boats and ships further emphasizes its importance as a hub for ship maintenance and shipping activities during that period. This remarkable piece not only captures historical significance but also showcases exceptional artistic talent through its intricate engravings. It serves as both a visual delight and an informative window into South East London's rich naval history along with its connection to merchant ships navigating through River Thames.
