EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by William Henry Bartlett, titled "Mary-Port Pier, c. 1840-50" takes us back in time to the stormy seas of the mid-19th century. The print showcases Maryport, a picturesque town nestled on the southernmost tip of the Solway Firth in Cumbria, England. The scene is set amidst choppy and rough waters, with powerful breakers crashing against the pier. A lone ship battles against the elements, highlighting the treacherous conditions faced by sailors during this era. In contrast to the tumultuous sea, a sturdy lighthouse stands tall on the horizon as a beacon of hope and safety for those navigating these perilous waters. Bartlett's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of Maryport's harbor and port area. The bustling activity that once characterized this coastal town can be imagined through his intricate etchings. It is worth noting that this engraving was dedicated to Reverend Humphrey Archer Hervey, vicar of Bridekirk at that time. This dedication adds an element of personal significance to an already remarkable piece of art. As we gaze upon this historical print from our modern vantage point, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty and danger inherent in life along England's west coast. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring struggle against nature's forces and pays homage to those who braved such tempestuous seas centuries ago.
