EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print by Francis Calcraft Turner, titled "View of Godings New Lion Ale Brewery, Fowlers Iron Works and Walkers Shot Manufactory, Lambeth, 1836" offers a glimpse into the bustling industrial landscape of early 19th century London. The scene showcases a vibrant riverside setting with an array of activities taking place. In the foreground, we see workers diligently unloading bags from a boat at the docks. These hardworking individuals are part of the timber merchant business run by Peache; Moore. Meanwhile, in the background, towering chimneys rise above factories belonging to Fowler's Iron Works and Walker's Shot Manufactory. The image captures the essence of this era's thriving industry as goods are transported along the River Thames using pulley systems and barges. A bag of hops being loaded onto one such vessel hints at the brewing trade that flourished during this time. The composition is rich in detail - from ropes hanging overhead to warehouses lining the riverbank. The architectural marvels include Waterloo Bridge on its Lambeth end, adding to the historical significance portrayed in this artwork. Turner masterfully depicts both human activity and architectural grandeur against a backdrop dominated by smoke-belching chimneys. This print serves as a testament to London's industrious spirit during Britain's Georgian period. Overall, this stunning piece provides viewers with an intriguing window into London's past - where commerce thrived alongside technological advancements - all captured within one frame for us to appreciate centuries later.
