EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Vauxhall Stairs, from Millbank" by Francis Towne, a renowned British artist of the 18th century. The artwork, created in 1797 using pen and brown ink as well as watercolor, measures 18.4x22.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The image captures an elevated view of Vauxhall Stairs along the river Thames in London during the late eighteenth century. It depicts a bustling scene of working life, with men engaged in various occupations related to the fishing industry. A rowboat can be seen on the water, highlighting the importance of water transport for trade and commerce at that time. In this historic setting, people are patiently waiting for their boats or engaging in conversations while surrounded by natural spaces and clouds overhead. A young boy stands nearby, observing and learning from his surroundings. Towne's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this ink drawing and watercolor masterpiece. The use of brown ink adds depth and richness to the composition while capturing the essence of urban life in Great Britain during this era. This print offers viewers a glimpse into an important aspect of local industry and livelihoods during the late 18th century in South London. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and provides insight into how people lived and worked centuries ago.
