EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "City of Antwerp" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime city of Antwerp in Belgium. The print showcases a panoramic view of the city's environs, with ships arriving at its coastal shores. The image captures the essence of this vibrant European metropolis, known for its rich history and thriving port. A variety of boats can be seen dotting the sea, while a tugboat guides one vessel towards its destination. This scene epitomizes the importance of transportation and trade in Antwerp during that era. The City of Antwerp itself stands proudly on the coastline, displaying architectural marvels that reflect both Belgian and European influences. As we admire this detailed engraving, it becomes evident why Her Majesty chose to include this picturesque location in The Illustrated London News back in August 1845. The print not only provides an insight into daily life but also highlights how transport played a crucial role in connecting Belgium with other Benelux countries and Europe as a whole. It serves as a reminder of how coastlines have always been significant features for cities like Antwerp – gateways to exploration, commerce, and cultural exchange. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork from their private collection so that we may appreciate the beauty and significance of City of Antwerp even today.
