EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving captures the beauty and charm of Kingstown Harbour on the east coast of Ireland in 1903. The intricate details and precision of the artwork transport us back in time to a bygone era when maritime exploration was at its peak.
Created by British School artist W.F. Maxwell, this piece is a testament to the skill and dedication of those who meticulously surveyed and mapped out the coastline with great accuracy. With assistance from Staff Captain W.F. Maxwell R.N., Staff Commander T.C. Pascoe R.N., and Mr E.A.Forbes, this engraving provides a glimpse into the topography of the area as documented by Ordnance Survey Admiralty chart no. 1471.
The black-and-white imagery adds a sense of nostalgia to this historical print, highlighting the bustling port area with boats docked along the shoreline. The attention to detail in capturing every aspect of Kingstown Harbour showcases not only artistic talent but also serves as an important record of maritime history.
As we admire this engraving, we are reminded of the significance that harbours like Kingstown played in connecting nations through trade and travel during the early twentieth century. It stands as a timeless tribute to Ireland's rich seafaring heritage and serves as a window into a world long past yet still preserved in art for generations to come.
