EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Thames Embankment - Steam Boat Landing Pier at Waterloo, London, 1864" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The artist's identity remains a mystery, but their attention to detail and architectural accuracy is evident in this stunning print. In the foreground, we see a steamboat packed with passengers arriving at the quay by Waterloo Bridge. The excitement on their faces is palpable as they disembark onto the pier. The River Thames comes alive with various forms of water transport including boats, rafts, and barges navigating its waters. The scene captures not only the vibrant energy of river traffic but also showcases the grandeur of London's architecture during that era. Tall buildings line both sides of the riverbank while Waterloo Bridge stands proudly in the background. This lithograph offers a glimpse into an age when steamboats were a popular mode of transportation along this iconic waterway. Preserved through time, this print serves as a valuable historical document depicting life in Lambeth and highlighting how crucial rivers like Thames were for transportation and trade in 19th-century England. Displayed prominently within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today, this artwork allows us to step back into history and appreciate both the beauty of London's landmarks and its dynamic river culture from over a century ago.
