EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling coastal town of Sunderland in 1836. The focal point of the image is the magnificent lighthouse perched upon the south pier, its beacon guiding ships safely into harbor. Edward Francis Finden skillfully captures this scene after George Balmer's original artwork, showcasing his talent as an engraver. The weather appears overcast with cloudy skies, adding a sense of drama to the picture. In the foreground, we see a group of fishermen preparing their boats for a day out at sea. These hardworking men are essential to Sunderland's thriving fishing industry and play a vital role in sustaining trade and commerce. A tall ship can be seen in the distance, symbolizing Sunderland's connection to maritime transportation and international trade during this era. The chain linking the ship to land suggests that it may be anchored in port or awaiting cargo. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless quality of this 19th-century scene, transporting viewers back to a bygone era when sailboats dominated water transport. This print serves as both a historical record and an artistic representation of Sunderland's rich maritime heritage. Thanks to William Finden's publication "Ports, Harbours, Watering Places and Coast Scenery of Great Britain" this remarkable piece has been preserved for generations to appreciate. It offers us a glimpse into England's past while reminding us of our enduring fascination with seafaring adventures and coastal landscapes.
