EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque Whitby harbour in Yorkshire, England, circa 1833. At the mouth of the river Esk, this bustling port was a hub for shipping and sailing vessels during that era. The focal point of the image is the old drawbridge, which served as a vital link between the upper and lower harbours. This bridge played a crucial role in allowing tall sailing ships to pass through by being raised when necessary. The drawing by Francis Pickersgill, an esteemed Civil Engineer of his time, beautifully depicts this engineering marvel. However, it is worth noting that this iconic drawbridge met its fate in 1833 when it was demolished to make way for a new bridge. Whitby harbour's rich history as a maritime center shines through in this remarkable artwork. From its strategic location to its significance in facilitating trade and transportation along Britain's coastline, every detail tells a story of industry and progress. As you gaze upon this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let yourself be transported back to an era where sailboats dotted the horizon and Whitby harbour buzzed with activity—a true testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding connection with nature's waterways.
