EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wallsend" by Charles Richardson offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity on the River Tyne in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The artwork showcases ships patiently waiting to load coal at Wallsend while tall pithead chimneys dominate the right bank of the river. A prominent feature near the end of the coal jetty is a domed loading winch, which was essential for unloading coal from chaldrons (wagons) into ships. The composition also reveals a historical touch as it encompasses part of the site where Segedunum, a Roman fort, once stood. This juxtaposition between ancient and modern elements adds depth and intrigue to Richardson's work. As one of Thomas Miles Richardson Senior's artist sons, Charles Richardson demonstrates his inherited talent through this piece. The meticulous use of bodycolour, pencil, and watercolor on paper brings life to every detail captured in this 55.4 x 37.4 cm artwork. "Wallsend" not only captures an industrial scene but also encapsulates the rich heritage and vibrant energy that defined Newcastle-upon-Tyne during that era. It serves as both a visual documentation of history and an artistic expression that invites viewers to appreciate the beauty found within everyday scenes. This print is housed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and remains an important cultural artifact representing North East England's maritime legacy.
