EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Notes on the Manchester Ship Canal, III" takes us back to 1888, offering a glimpse into the bustling activity along the River Irwell. Created by Charles J. Staniland and now part of a private collection, this engraving was originally featured in The Graphic on August 25th of that year. The image showcases an intricate scene filled with various elements that defined the era's industrial landscape. From sand-laden docks to meticulously designed waterways, every detail tells a story of hard work and progress. The river itself acts as a lifeline for trade and transportation, connecting it to the mighty River Mersey. Notably, we see workers diligently going about their tasks while ships from both the French Navy and German Navy navigate through these waters. A track bridge stands tall over Irwell Island, providing passage for goods and people alike. The composition is enhanced by lush moss-covered banks on either side of the canal, contrasting against the man-made structures nearby. Salford, Moore, Manchester, Eccles – all neighboring areas contributing to this grand endeavor are mentioned in small notes scattered across the print. As we delve into this historical snapshot captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can't help but marvel at how human ingenuity shaped not only this specific region but also global commerce as a whole during that period.
