The Pool - Steamer Trips, 1841
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the bustling city of London in the early 20th century. Captured by artist William Parrott, this engraving showcases the departure of steamers from The Pool of London, a prominent geographical feature along the River Thames. The scene is filled with activity as men and women gather on the riverbank, eagerly awaiting their travel adventures. The panoramic photography beautifully captures the busy atmosphere, with ships lining up against each other and billowing black smoke into the air. Despite its charm, this image also highlights the pollution that plagued industrialized cities during this era. As part of "Londoners Then and Now As Pictured By Their Contemporaries" edited by Geoffrey Holme in 1920, this print offers a glimpse into transportation history and how people traveled within Britain at that time. It serves as a reminder of an era when water transport was essential for connecting different parts of England. The letterbox format adds an artistic touch to this monochrome masterpiece while emphasizing both male and female passengers preparing for their trips. Through Parrott's lens, we are transported back to a time when steamer trips were not only practical but also exciting opportunities for exploration and adventure. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the historical significance of London's river transport system in the 1920s and William Parrott's skillful depiction of it through his artistry.
