EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Katherines Dock: Opening on 25th October 1828, captured in this vibrant coloured aquatint engraving by E. Duncan, transports us back to a momentous day filled with excitement and jubilation. The image showcases the grandeur of the dock's inauguration, as a magnificent ship gracefully sails through the water amidst a sea of celebration. The scene is alive with energy as crowds gather along the dockside, eagerly waving flags and cheering for this monumental occasion. Sailors can be seen standing proudly on the rigging of their vessels, adding an air of authenticity to the bustling atmosphere. This print not only captures a significant historical event but also serves as a testament to William John Huggins' artistic prowess in immortalizing such moments on paper. His attention to detail brings every element to life – from the intricate rigging of ships to the expressions of joy on people's faces. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time and reminded of how St. Katherines Dock was once at the heart of London's maritime history. This print stands as a tribute to those who built it and all those who have walked its docks throughout centuries.
