EDITORS COMMENTS
Charcoal Bark, etched by the artist, published 1803 (colour litho) captures a picturesque scene from the early 19th century. In this print, created by John Augustus Atkinson, we are transported back in time to witness the bustling river trade industry. The image showcases a hurdle stack boat gracefully gliding along the tranquil river waters. The boat's shallow design allows it to navigate through narrow passages with ease. Skilled workers can be seen maneuvering long poles to guide and propel the vessel forward. This artwork offers a glimpse into an era when transportation relied heavily on waterways for commerce. The cargo-laden barque serves as a reminder of how vital these vessels were in transporting goods across vast distances. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Atkinson's etching technique, bringing life and vibrancy to this historical moment. From the intricate rudder mechanism to each laborer diligently working aboard their respective boats, every element tells its own story. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of the immense effort that went into building our modern world. This print not only celebrates an important period in history but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to shaping our industries and economies through hard work and determination.
