EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled 'Gibraltar (1844). Rock, city and harbour,' offers a glimpse into the past of this iconic British Overseas Territory. The intricate details of the image reveal a bustling harbor filled with ships of various sizes, from sleek naval vessels to quaint fishing boats. The city, nestled at the foot of the imposing Rock of Gibraltar, is a maze of whitewashed buildings and winding streets, illuminated by the soft glow of candles and lanterns. The Rock itself, a natural fortress and symbol of British power, looms large in the background, its distinctive shape silhouetted against the horizon. The etching masterfully captures the unique character of this strategic Mediterranean outpost, which has been a prized possession of the British Empire since 1713. The etching process, a form of intaglio printing, involves the use of an etching needle to create incisions in a metal plate, which are then filled with ink and wiped clean, leaving the lines to transfer onto paper when pressed. This labor-intensive technique results in highly detailed and expressive images, as evidenced by the intricate depiction of the boats, ships, and buildings in this print. The Gibraltarian people, a diverse community with a rich cultural heritage, are seen going about their daily lives, from fishing and boatbuilding to commerce and trade. The image offers a window into the past, transporting us back in time to a world of candlelight, craftsmanship, and imperial power.
