EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an aerial view of Howland Great Dock in Rotherhithe, Bermondsey, London around 1717. The artist, Johannes Kip, skillfully depicts ships peacefully anchored in the dock while piles of wood stand nearby for boat-building and repairs. Surrounding the dock are lush fields where cattle graze, creating a picturesque countryside scene. In the distance, the bustling cityscape of London comes into view. The engraving showcases the thriving shipping industry that was prominent during the eighteenth century in this area. Howland Great Dock served as a vital hub for transportation and trade along the River Thames. Its strategic location made it an ideal spot for shipbuilding and other maritime activities. This historical artwork offers us a glimpse into London's past when industries flourished alongside peaceful rural landscapes. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's beauty coexisting harmoniously. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome masterpiece by J. Badslade provides us with valuable insights into England's rich history of water transport and industrial development during that era.
