EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "On the Tyne, 1914" by Robert John Scott Bertram offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity along the River Tyne in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The intricate details captured in ink, pencil, and watercolor on board transport us back to a time when steam paddle tugs like the 'Pioneer' were essential for transporting goods and passengers.
In this scene, we see the 'Pioneer' undergoing repairs on a slipway at J. and D. Morris Ltd., Hebburn, while a tall-masted ship loads coal from Ouston Staith nearby. The coal chaldrons waiting on the rails add to the industrial charm of the setting. Further in the background, Deans Primrose Staith and other landmarks along Bill Quay can be spotted.
Robert Bertram's artistic choice to focus on picturesque views rather than modern machinery highlights his appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and historical significance. The attention to detail in depicting each element of transportation – from tugboats to steamships – adds depth and authenticity to this timeless piece.
As we admire this artwork from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, we are reminded of the rich maritime heritage that has shaped Newcastle's identity as an important hub for trade and industry in England.
