Port Madoc from the Embankment, 1849
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the past. The coloured litho on paper, created by C. F. W. in the mid-19th century, showcases a picturesque view of Port Madoc as seen from the embankment. The composition draws your eyes towards the horizon where Porthmadog town emerges against a backdrop dominated by Moel-y-Gest mountain. The scene comes alive with activity as a horse-drawn train of dandy wagons prepares to traverse The Cob along the Festiniog Railway. This historic railway company played an integral role in transporting goods and passengers during that era. The print captures not only the beauty of nature but also highlights various modes of transport prevalent at that time. Boats dotting the coastline further emphasize this theme of transportation and connectivity. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing, this artwork transports us back to an early 19th-century coastal scene in Britain. It serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation, showcasing how people traveled and traded during those times. This print is part of Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust's Elton Collection, which preserves valuable artworks like these for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of our rich heritage while offering insight into life centuries ago along Britain's coastlines.
