EDITORS COMMENTS
This double-page watercolour plan of Belfast, dating back to the late 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the urban landscape and trade networks of this bustling Irish city. Created by James Williamson, an esteemed Irish artist of the time, this artwork showcases his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of watercolours. The map depicts Belfast as it appeared in the 1790s, with its natural spaces and river prominently featured. It provides valuable insight into the town planning and geographic layout of Belfast during this period. The inclusion of navigational equipment highlights the importance of commerce and trade in shaping the city's development. Originally published in Dublin around 1795, this double-page watercolour plan is part of a larger manuscript trade album that contains various maps, estates plans, and advertisements. Its sepia tones add depth to Williamson's intricate illustration while capturing the essence of late eighteenth-century British Isles. As you explore this artwork further, you'll be transported back in time to witness Belfast's growth as a thriving hub for commerce and industry. From its detailed depiction of streets and buildings to its artistic rendering of natural elements like leaves and water bodies, every aspect reflects Williamson's mastery as an European artist. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only James Williamson's talent but also gain insights into Northern Ireland's rich history through art.
