EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "East Port or Cowgate Port, 1891" transports us back to the bustling streets of Victorian Dundee. The skilled artist behind this masterpiece is Richard Davidson Winter (1862-1947), who beautifully captures the essence of daily life in this Scottish town. The scene unfolds on a narrow cobbled street, where an archway known as Wishart Arch stands proudly in the background. A man can be seen laboriously carrying a heavy load while a horse-drawn cart waits patiently nearby. The architectural details are exquisite, with intricate crenellations adorning the buildings and adding to the charm of this townscape. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to another time - a time when horse-drawn carts were a common sight and life moved at a slower pace. The monochrome palette adds depth and nostalgia to the image, allowing us to appreciate every detail captured by Winter's skilled hand. This etching serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Dundee's past. It invites us to imagine what it was like for those who walked these very streets over a century ago. As we admire this remarkable piece from The McManus collection in Dundee Art Galleries and Museums, let us cherish its ability to connect us with our shared history and remind us of how far we have come since then.
