EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Keelmens Hospital, 1843, South Front" takes us back to a bygone era in the Scottish-English borders. The print showcases the historical significance of this local landmark with its intricate architectural details. The image captures the south front of the Keelmens Hospital from an elevated terrace perspective. Built in 1701 in Newcastle, this hospital served as a refuge for keelmen - workers who transported coal on flat-bottomed boats along the River Tyne. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every line and shadow brings life to this historical scene. From the beautifully carved stone façade to the grand entrance adorned with ornate columns, one can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship that went into constructing this building. "The Keelmens Hospital" engraving was originally created by an English School artist during the 19th century and later featured in M. A. Richardson's book "The Borderers Table Book". This particular print is part of a private collection and has been preserved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how our ancestors built structures like these to serve their communities. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us of our shared past.
