Limehouse, before 1920? Creator: Charles Henry Baskett
Limehouse, before 1920? Depicts many barges and boats on the River Thames in the industrial area of Limehouse in the East End of London. The belching tugboat that dominates the left foreground obviously contributed its share to London's smog pollution

River Thames in Limehouse - A Study in Industrial Elegance
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking aquatint print by renowned artist Charles Henry Baskett, the industrial area of Limehouse on London's River Thames is brought to life. Created before 1920, the piece captures a moment in time when industry and commerce dominated the East End landscape.
The dominant tugboat belching smoke into the air adds a sense of grittiness to an otherwise picturesque scene. The barges and boats dotting the river create a sense of movement and activity, while the Limehouse Tower Hamlets' iconic skyline rises majestically in the background.
Baskett's masterful use of black and white tones creates a moody atmosphere that evokes feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to an age when industry was king, and the River Thames played host to bustling trade and commerce.
This piece is not only a testament to Baskett's artistic skill but also serves as a poignant reminder of London's industrial heritage. It is a must-see for anyone interested in exploring the city's rich history through art.
