EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Limehouse of the 19th century, a bustling hub of industry and transportation along the River Thames in London. Created by renowned artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler and captured in an etching from his book "Whistler As I Knew Him" this work of art beautifully depicts the shipping industry that thrived in this area during that time. In this monochrome scene, we see boats and barges gracefully navigating the river while dock workers go about their daily tasks on the riverside. The intricate details showcase Whistler's artistic mastery, as he skillfully captures both the grandeur of these vessels and the everyday life unfolding around them. Limehouse was not only a significant location for trade but also served as inspiration for many artists during Britain's artistic movement in the early 20th century.

Their collaboration brings forth an exquisite representation of Limehouse at its prime - an enduring
