EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Steelyard, 1811" by George Shepherd takes us back in time to the bustling trading center of London. The image showcases the steel foundry and pulley system that was a vital part of this historic location. Located on Upper Thames Street, Steelyard was not only a hub for merchants but also served as an important connection point with ports in Germany through the Hanseatic League. In this detailed artwork, we can see the intricate scales and winches used for weighing goods before they were transported along the River Thames. The painting beautifully captures the industrial atmosphere of Steelyard, with its towering buildings and busy workers going about their daily tasks. It is interesting to note that Cannon Street Station would later be built on these premises in 1865, further transforming this area into a transportation hub. This print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural beauty of Steelyard. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of London's rich trading history and how places like Steelyard played a crucial role in shaping it. It serves as a visual reminder of our past and invites us to explore further into the fascinating world of commerce during that era.
