EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive City of London Aberdeen Steam-Ship, a true marvel of 19th-century engineering. Created in 1844 by the renowned shipbuilder Mr. Robert Napier on the banks of Clyde, this magnificent iron steamer stands as a testament to Britain's industrial prowess. Commissioned at an extravagant cost of £40,000 by the esteemed Aberdeen and London Steam Navigation Company, this vessel was specifically designed for regular voyages between Aberdeen and the bustling metropolis of London. Its sleek silhouette dominates the frame, exuding power and elegance against a backdrop of calm waters. The engraving captures every intricate detail with precision - from its towering funnel billowing smoke to its sturdy metal structure that defies nature's elements. This paddle steamer served as a vital mode of transportation during Victorian times when water transport played a crucial role in connecting distant cities. Published in "Illustrated London News" in 1844, this historic image offers us a glimpse into an era where steamships revolutionized travel and trade across oceans. Though created by an unknown artist, their skillful rendering brings forth nostalgia for an age gone by. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize it as a symbol of human ingenuity that propelled Britain's shipping industry forward during the 19th century.
