EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the awe-inspiring sight of the Dam of Masonry closing Lake Vyrnwy in North Wales. Constructed for the New Liverpool Waterworks, this monumental structure is showcased in all its grandeur before the rising of the water. The image transports us back to 1889 when it was first published in The Illustrated London News, allowing us a glimpse into history and marvel at the engineering feat accomplished by English School artists from the 19th century. The dam itself stands tall and imposing, a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Its solid masonry construction exudes strength and stability as it closes off Lake Vyrnwy, creating a vast reservoir that would serve as an essential water supply for Liverpool. The view depicted in this print showcases not only the impressive dam but also highlights the natural beauty of North Wales. The serene lake surrounded by rolling hills provides a picturesque backdrop to this man-made wonder. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how mankind has harnessed nature's resources to meet our needs while simultaneously appreciating its inherent beauty. This print serves as both a historical document capturing an important moment in time and a visual reminder of humanity's ability to shape landscapes for practical purposes such as providing vital water supplies for growing cities like Liverpool.
