EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur of The new iron screw steam-ship London, built for the Australian trade in 1864. Created by Smyth and featured in the "Illustrated London News", this engraving showcases the intricate details of this impressive cargo ship constructed by Messrs. Money, Wigram and Sons at Blackwall.
The image transports us back to the 19th century, a time when steamships were revolutionizing transportation across oceans. The sails are billowing against a backdrop of water, symbolizing both tradition and modernity coming together in this innovative vessel.
The craftsmanship of the iron hull is evident in every line etched into the print, highlighting the skill and dedication that went into building such a marvel of engineering. Edwin Weedon's meticulous attention to detail brings out the texture and strength of metal that was used to construct this powerful steamship.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured on paper, we can almost hear the sounds of waves crashing against its bow as it embarks on its journey to Australia. This print serves as a reminder of how far technology has come since then while also honoring the legacy of those who paved the way for modern maritime trade.
