EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hull Illustrated" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of Kingston upon Hull. The image showcases a vibrant street scene filled with ships unloading their cargo, creating an atmosphere of maritime activity and trade. The rich architectural heritage of Hull is evident in this engraving, as notable landmarks such as Trinity House Navigation School, Wilberforce House, Theatre Royal, and the Royal Institution grace the cityscape. These structures stand proudly amidst the busy market place where merchants conduct business and locals go about their daily lives. As we explore further into this visual narrative, we discover glimpses of history intertwined with everyday life. The presence of politicians suggests that Hull was not only a hub for commerce but also played a significant role in political affairs during that era. The photograph also pays homage to renowned figures associated with Hull's legacy. Andrew Marvell, one of England's finest poets born in this very city, finds his place among these streets teeming with energy and culture. Moreover, it is impossible to ignore the Humber River flowing gracefully through this urban landscape. Its waters connect various docks like Humber Dock and Princes Dock — vital arteries for international trade at that time. In essence, "Hull Illustrated" encapsulates both the grandeur and vitality of Kingston upon Hull during its heyday as a thriving maritime center. This historical gem serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while retaining traces of their past glory.
