EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Map of the Lower Rotherhithe Docks, London, 1746" an engraving by John Rocque. The image takes us back in time to the bustling docklands of London during the mid-18th century. The map reveals a detailed layout of the Howland Great Wet Dock, now known as Greenland Dock, which holds significant historical importance as it is recognized as the oldest riverside wet dock in London. It served as a vital hub for maritime activities and trade during that era. As we explore this intricate engraving, our eyes are drawn to various elements such as shipwrights diligently working on ships along with warehouses belonging to the victualing office storing provisions for naval vessels. We can also spot notable landmarks like Red House Wall, Rogues Lane, Dog and Duck Stairs, and George Stairs. The lower wet dock area is depicted with precision, showcasing numerous ships anchored there. This section was crucial for shipping operations and played a pivotal role in facilitating trade between London and other parts of the world. Through this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Rocque's skilled hand, we gain insight into the rich history and significance of Rotherhithe docks in shaping London's maritime heritage. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and industrial progress during that period.
