EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 6 x 4.25 inches Pirrie Carlisle Archive print showcases a pen and ink study by George Maurice Burn (1862-1945) of Thames barges under sail. The image captures the essence of maritime transportation during an era when these traditional vessels were a common sight on the River Thames. The card bearing Burn's artwork is adorned with a multitude of autographs from visitors to a social event, adding an extra layer of historical interest. George Maurice Burn was a prolific British artist whose work often depicted scenes of transport and travel. His detailed and evocative illustrations captured the spirit of the time, making them highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts. The autographs on this particular print belong to a distinguished group of individuals who attended a soiree, including Sir William Paget, Sir James Kennedy, Sir Charles Wallerstein, Sir James Hamilton, Sir Archibald Cooke, Sir William Fraser, Sir John Welsh, Sir Edward Carbery, and Sir David Jenkins, among others. These signatures not only add value to the print but also provide a glimpse into the social circles of the time. The Pirrie Carlisle Archive is a treasure trove of historical documents and artifacts related to the shipping industry, particularly the work of Sir William Pirrie and Sir James Carlisle, two giants in the field. This unique print is a testament to their enduring legacy and the rich maritime history of the Thames.
