EDITORS COMMENTS
Entertainment to Dock Labourers (litho) captures a poignant moment in history, as depicted by the talented artist William Douglas Almond. This lithograph, dating back to 1889, showcases an extraordinary scene of song and concert amidst the hustle and bustle of London's docks. In this vibrant illustration for The Illustrated London News, Almond skillfully portrays a diverse audience eagerly awaiting their turn to be entertained. The dock labourers are shown as attentive listeners, their weary faces reflecting both anticipation and hunger. As they gather in a makeshift dining area, surrounded by crates and barrels, it becomes apparent that this performance is not just about leisure but also serves as respite from their demanding work. Almond's attention to detail is remarkable; every expression on the dock workers' faces tells a story of hardship and longing for moments like these. Through his masterful use of engraving techniques, he brings life to each character present at this unique gathering. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of arduous labor and challenging circumstances, entertainment has the power to uplift spirits and provide solace. It immortalizes an era when art transcended social boundaries and brought joy into unexpected places. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical gem – an invaluable glimpse into the lives of those who built our cities while finding solace in music.
