EDITORS COMMENTS
The Prospect of ye Town of Dundee from ye East, 1693 (engraving) captures the timeless beauty and bustling activity of this Scottish town in the late 17th century. The print, created by John Slezer, offers a fascinating glimpse into Dundee's rich maritime history. In the foreground, we see a fleet of boats gracefully gliding along the waterfront. Among them is a sturdy tugboat, symbolizing the importance of transportation and trade in this vibrant port city. The Dutch influence is evident in their distinctive design and craftsmanship. The landscape stretches out beyond the town, revealing rolling hills that embrace Dundee with natural splendor. This juxtaposition between urban development and untouched nature creates an enchanting townscape that has captivated artists for centuries. As our eyes wander through this black and white monochrome masterpiece, we notice figures pressing barrels onshore - a testament to Dundee's thriving industries at the time. These activities add depth to the scene and remind us of the hardworking spirit that shaped this resilient community. This remarkable engraving now resides at The McManus museum in Dundee, UK where it continues to inspire visitors with its historical significance. It serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten; reminding us of how far this picturesque town has come while honoring its enduring heritage.
