EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "DORE: LONDON, 1873. The Docks - The Concordia" takes us back to the bustling docks of late Victorian London. Created by the talented Gustave Dore as part of his series "London: A Pilgrimage" in 1873, this wood engraving beautifully captures a moment in time. In the foreground, we see a group of dockworkers diligently working on repairing a rowboat while others busy themselves with various tasks nearby. Their figures are sharply defined against the backdrop of towering sailing ships that line the Thames River. One ship in particular catches our attention - The Concordia - its majestic figurehead proudly displayed at its bow. The scene is filled with an air of industry and activity as men go about their daily routines amidst scaffolds and crates scattered along the docks. This image serves as a testament to London's status as one of the world's busiest ports during this era. Dore's masterful engraving technique brings out intricate details and textures, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of these magnificent vessels and the hard work put forth by these unsung heroes who kept them seaworthy. Whether you're an art enthusiast or history buff, this print offers a glimpse into London's maritime past that is sure to captivate your imagination for years to come.
