EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A View of the Dockyard at Deptford taken from the opposite Side of the Thames, 1698". The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 17th century, is now part of a private collection. Deptford holds historical significance as it was the first Royal Dockyard established by Henry VIII on the banks of the River Thames. This strategic location allowed for efficient construction and maintenance of vessels for the Royal Navy. The engraving presents two distinct plans of the dockyard: one before and one after the Glorious Revolution in 1688 when William of Orange overthrew King James II. These plans provide valuable insight into how this vital naval facility evolved over time. The image captures a bustling scene along the riverfront with numerous ships and boats dotting its waters. It offers a glimpse into maritime activities such as shipbuilding, maintenance, and shipping operations that took place within this historic dockyard. Notably, this print highlights both architectural elements like dry docks and broader themes such as England's naval power during this period. Its detailed depiction invites viewers to immerse themselves in South East London's rich maritime history.
