EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The scene captures a momentous occasion - the grand opening of a new steam ferry across the iconic River Thames at Wapping. At the center of attention stands The Lord Mayor of London, adorned in his regal attire, as he ceremoniously cuts through a ribbon with an ornate golden scissors. His presence exudes authority and significance, symbolizing the importance of this new mode of transportation for the city. The river is teeming with activity as boats and ferries navigate its waters. A magnificent steamship looms in the background, showcasing cutting-edge technology that was revolutionizing travel during that era. Tugboats gracefully glide alongside it, their powerful engines propelling them forward. Onlookers gather along the riverbanks to witness this historic event unfold. People from all walks of life come together - men in top hats, women in elegant dresses - their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. This evocative print not only captures a specific moment in time but also provides us with a glimpse into London's rich maritime history. It serves as a reminder of how advancements in transportation have shaped our cities and connected communities throughout centuries past.
