EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Newcastle-On-Tyne in 1896. The focal point of the image is the magnificent HMS Victoria, a warship that has just arrived at the river Tyne. With its towering masts and billowing black smoke, it exudes power and grandeur. The scene is set against the backdrop of the iconic High Level Bridge, a testament to Victorian engineering prowess. As we explore further, we notice a crowd gathered on both sides of the riverbank, eagerly watching this majestic arrival. Men, women, and children alike are captivated by this awe-inspiring sight. Amidst all this excitement stands an artist named M Auty who skillfully captures this historic moment in his book "Pictorial England and Wales". His monochrome depiction perfectly encapsulates not only the ship but also showcases life in late 19th century Britain. As our eyes wander through the frame, we catch glimpses of horse-drawn carts carrying goods across town while people go about their daily activities. However, amidst all this liveliness lies a reminder of industrialization - thick plumes of smoke emanating from chimneys polluting Newcastle's skies. This vintage photograph transports us back in time to witness an era where transportation by water was vital for trade and communication. It serves as a visual documentation of history that allows us to appreciate both technological advancements and societal changes over time.
