EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Osaka, Japan in the early 1900s. The artist, Mortimer L Menpes, skillfully captures the bustling atmosphere of this vibrant city. The scene showcases a busy river with numerous boats sailing along its waters, transporting people and goods from one place to another. In the foreground, we see pedestrians going about their daily activities on a bridge that spans across the river. Their presence adds a sense of liveliness to the image as they navigate through the crowd and interact with each other. Menpes' pen drawing technique beautifully highlights both architectural details and natural elements surrounding Osaka. The monochrome palette enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this artwork, giving it a timeless quality. Published in "Modern Pen Drawings: European and American" by Charles Holme in 1900-01, this print serves as an invaluable historical document capturing life in Osaka during that era. It provides us with insights into transportation methods used at that time while also showcasing how art can be used to depict geographical features. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a different century - witnessing firsthand the energy and vibrancy of Osaka's riverfront through Mortimer L Menpes' artistic lens.
