EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured aquatint print, titled "Bascule Bridge and New Docks at Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, 1786" takes us back to the heart of England's industrial revolution. Created by the talented artist Robert Thew and expertly aquatinted by F. Jukes, this piece showcases a pivotal moment in transportation history. The image transports us to the bustling port of Kingston-upon-Hull, where ships gracefully sail along the Humber Estuary. The newly constructed bascule bridge stands proudly over the lock and dock system, symbolizing progress and innovation. Its intricate design allows for seamless passage between land and water, facilitating trade and commerce during this transformative era. As we delve deeper into this historical scene, we are reminded of Yorkshire's significant role in Britain's industrial growth. The new docks serve as a testament to Hull's importance as a thriving port city during this time period. With its vibrant colours meticulously applied by hand, this print captures not only the physical beauty of these structures but also their significance within society. It serves as a visual reminder of how advancements in transportation shaped our world today. Preserved within private collections for centuries before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and its historical value.
