The Back of Old Leith Pier
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolitho print that takes us back in time to the 19th century. This stunning artwork, created by C. Stanfield and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the picturesque and historical charm of Scotland. The image showcases the old Leith Pier from an unusual perspective - its backside. The weathered wooden planks, worn down by years of use, tell stories of countless ships docking at this bustling port. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear the echoes of sailors' voices and feel the salty sea breeze on our faces. This chromolitho print was originally commissioned as an illustration for "Scotland Picturesque Historical Descriptive" by John Parker Lawson in 1895. It perfectly captures the essence of Scottish maritime heritage with its attention to detail and vibrant colors. As we admire this piece, it transports us to a different era when Leith Pier was at its prime - serving as a vital hub for trade and connecting Scotland to distant lands. Its rustic beauty evokes nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of Scotland's rich history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts like us to appreciate its beauty today. Let "The Back of Old Leith Pier" take you on a journey through time and immerse yourself in the enchanting allure of old Scottish seaports.
