EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Leith Pier and Harbour, 1798" takes us back to a significant moment in Scottish history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the bustling Leith Pier and Harbour during the late 18th century. The image transports us to a time when Leith was a thriving port town, serving as Edinburgh's main trading gateway with the rest of the world. The harbor is filled with ships of various sizes, their sails billowing in the wind as they await their next voyage. The pier itself stands tall and sturdy, its stone structure reflecting both strength and elegance. As we delve into this historical scene, it becomes apparent that Leith Pier and Harbour played a vital role in Scotland's maritime industry during this period. This engraving serves as a visual testament to Scotland's rich seafaring heritage. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable piece resurfaced through Cassells Old and New Edinburgh publication around 1885. Its inclusion signifies its importance not only as an artistic representation but also as an invaluable glimpse into Scotland's past. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can now appreciate this exquisite print from afar while immersing themselves in the vibrant history of Leith Pier and Harbour.
