EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling scene at Waterloo Docks in Liverpool, as captured in 1864. Engraved by the talented William Gavin Herdman and James Orr Marples, this piece is a true testament to their artistic prowess. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the vibrant atmosphere of this important shipping hub. In this image, we see a myriad of ships dotting the dockside, each one representing a different journey and destination. The female figures add an air of elegance and grace as they navigate through the busy quay, perhaps awaiting loved ones or embarking on their own voyages. Meanwhile, Victorian gentlemen can be seen conversing with dock workers and fellow travelers. The attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable; every element has been meticulously rendered by Herdman and Marples. From the intricate architecture lining the waterfront to the hustle and bustle of activity along its edges, there is so much for viewers to explore within this composition. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into Liverpool's rich maritime heritage during an era when trade flourished across oceans. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an invaluable record of our past for historians alike.
