EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "North Shields, 1880" captures a picturesque scene from the late 19th century. Painted by Stephen Brownlow, this oil on canvas artwork measures 50.7 x 76.4 cm and is housed in the renowned Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The focal point of the painting is the High Light at North Shields, majestically rising above the bustling quayside buildings. On the left side of the composition stands HMS Castor, a Royal Naval reserve training ship. Behind her lies Wellesley, another naval training vessel that was moored at North Shields during this era. Wellesley holds a fascinating history as it had been purchased from the navy by local businessmen who transformed it into a school for boys aspiring to work on ships. The ship served as an educational institution where young minds were trained for future maritime endeavors. In addition to these remarkable elements, one can observe various other details within this vibrant scene: rowing boats dotting the harbor waters, houses lining the shore, and even children and infants adding life to their surroundings. Stephen Brownlow's masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture not only an exquisite maritime landscape but also provide us with glimpses into historical naval practices and daily life in North Shields during this period.
