A Bit of Old Shields, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Duncan F. McLea that takes us back in time to the bustling harbor of South Shields in the late 19th century. This small yet powerful artwork, measuring just 20.6x30.9 cm, holds within it a wealth of historical details and maritime charm. The scene depicted showcases a picturesque quay lined with charming houses and a prominent tower overlooking the waterfront. The harbor comes alive with an array of boats, from rowing boats gently gliding through the water to majestic ships docked at port. A tugboat adds movement and dynamism to the composition as it maneuvers amidst this busy maritime setting. McLea's masterful brushstrokes bring life to every element in this painting - from the meticulously rendered architecture to the shimmering reflections on the water's surface. Through his artistry, he captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. This exquisite print, housed at South Shields Museum & Art Gallery in South Shields, UK, allows viewers to immerse themselves in this bygone world and appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a testament to McLea's talent as well as an invaluable record of South Shield's rich maritime heritage.
