A Tramway Depot, Belfast Artist: Conor, William (1881-1968) Medium: Crayon on Paper Size: Unknown Date: Circa 1920s Description: This evocative crayon drawing by Irish artist William Conor captures the bustling atmosphere of a tramway depot in Belfast during the early 20th century. The image depicts a scene of activity, with trams of various designs and colors lined up in the foreground, ready to embark on their daily journeys. The depot building, with its red brick facade and large arched windows, dominates the background, exuding a sense of industry and efficiency. Conor's use of crayon adds texture and depth to the image, with the rough, waxy lines conveying the roughness and grit of the urban environment. The artist's keen observation of the details, from the tram tracks and wires to the figures of workers and passengers, brings the scene to life and transports the viewer back in time. Belfast's tramway system was a vital part of the city's transportation infrastructure during the early 1900s, connecting various neighborhoods and providing affordable and accessible travel for its residents. This drawing offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the role that public transportation played in the daily lives of people in Belfast and beyond. William Conor was an accomplished Irish painter and illustrator, known for his depictions of rural and urban life in Ireland. His works often featured a strong sense of nostalgia and a deep appreciation for the beauty and character of his native land.
