EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling port of Greenock in Scotland during the mid-19th century. Taken around 1840, this image showcases the Custom House and a fleet of steamships on the picturesque River Clyde. The Custom House, completed in 1818, stands proudly as a symbol of trade and finance in this thriving maritime town. The scene is filled with activity as boats navigate the river and workers go about their daily tasks along the quayside. The neo-classical architecture of the buildings adds an air of elegance to this industrial landscape. The paddle steamers, a prominent feature of water transport at that time, add movement and life to the scene. This historic photograph provides us with a glimpse into Britain's shipping industry during the 19th century. It reflects both the country's rich history and its geographical features, showcasing Scotland's stunning coastline. The print itself is an engraving from Leo Walmsley's book "British Ports and Harbours" published by Collins in London in 1942. Although we do not know who specifically created this particular artwork, it serves as a valuable historical document capturing an important era in Greenock's history. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print transports us back to a bygone era when Greenock was at its peak as one of Scotland's major ports. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty of its surroundings and its significance within British maritime history.
