EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Porter Pokemen on the quays, Newcastle" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. This print, created by an anonymous English School artist, offers a glimpse into the vibrant history of Newcastle upon Tyne. In this scene, we are transported to a picturesque harbor wall adorned with moorings and small castles that seem straight out of a fairy tale. The intricate details captured in this illustration bring to life the rich architectural heritage of the region. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to a group of porters known as "Pokemen" going about their daily tasks along the quayside. These hardworking individuals play a vital role in facilitating trade and transport at the bustling port. Their presence adds depth and authenticity to this historical depiction. This lithograph was originally commissioned for Cassells Family Magazine in 1887, showcasing its significance as both art and documentation of Newcastle's past. With its meticulous attention to detail and evocative atmosphere, it transports viewers back in time while offering glimpses into everyday life during this era. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from our own private collections. It serves as a reminder not only of Newcastle's illustrious past but also highlights how art can capture moments frozen in time for generations to come.
