EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1877 with this print capturing three scenes during the official opening of the Rotherhithe to Wapping Steam Ferry in London. The first image shows the ferry departing from Rotherhithe, a bustling scene filled with anticipation and excitement. Next, we see a moment of solemnity as the Parochial Address is read aloud, highlighting the significance of this new mode of transport for the community.
Finally, we witness passengers, including none other than the Lord Mayor of London himself, landing at Wapping after their journey across the river. The expressions on their faces tell a story of adventure and progress as they step onto solid ground once more.
These images offer a glimpse into a bygone era when steam ferries were cutting-edge technology and events like these were major milestones for local communities. The attention to detail in each scene is remarkable, transporting us back to a time when every moment was captured with care and precision.
Whether you're a history buff or simply appreciate stunning photography, this print is sure to spark your imagination and leave you longing for a journey down the Thames on that very same ferry.
