EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Commencement of the Hull, Barnsley, and West Riding Railway and Dock" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Frank Watkins in 1881 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the bustling town of Hull during the Victorian era. The scene unfolds with an array of architectural marvels that define the landscape. From the grand Town Hall to the majestic Holy Trinity Church, every structure exudes elegance and charm. The eye is drawn towards King William III's statue standing proudly amidst a sea of people gathered to witness this monumental event. As we explore further, our gaze shifts towards Princess Dock and its surrounding areas. Pontoons line the harbor walls while ships rest peacefully at their moorings. The Bay of Water sparkles under Queen Victoria's reign as she watches over her thriving port city. Beyond the docks lies a vibrant market filled with bustling activity - merchants selling their wares while locals go about their daily routines. In the distance stands Wilberforce Monument, paying homage to one of Hull's most influential figures who fought tirelessly against slavery. This remarkable engraving captures not only a specific moment but also encapsulates an entire era defined by progress and ambition. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us how far we have come since those early days when railways were just beginning to shape our world.
