EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures a momentous occasion in the lives of the children belonging to the workmen employed by the esteemed City Steam Boat Company. Taken in 1859 at Battersea's dry dock, London, this vibrant image showcases a joyous celebration that brought together these young ones for their annual festival. The scene is filled with an explosion of color and movement as children donned in exquisite dresses and dapper attire take center stage. The British flag proudly flutters above them, symbolizing unity and national pride. Their infectious laughter fills the air as they dance gracefully amidst the docks, creating an enchanting atmosphere that reflects their youthful spirit. Created by artist Edwin Jewitt and Harlen Melville, this lithograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of 19th-century celebrations. It serves as a testament to both community bonds and hardworking families who contributed to London's bustling maritime industry during this era.
