EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by George Washington Wilson takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Berwick upon Tweed in Northumberland, between 1850 and 1900. The image showcases a stunning view of the town from the south bank of the river, offering a glimpse into its rich history. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the magnificent Royal Border Bridge that gracefully towers over the medieval bridge on the left side of the picture. Its elegant architecture stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess and adds an air of grandeur to this quaint riverside scene. In the foreground, we are greeted with two fishing boats peacefully bobbing on gentle waves alongside a majestic sailing ship. These vessels remind us of Berwick's strong maritime heritage and its close ties to seafaring traditions. The Harbour comes alive with activity as fishermen prepare their nets or unload their catch, while locals go about their daily routines along bustling streets nearby. This snapshot captures both tranquility and vitality within one frame, showcasing how life thrived in this charming coastal town during that era. George Washington Wilson's masterful composition transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only Berwick upon Tweed's natural beauty but also its architectural marvels and vibrant community spirit. It serves as a visual reminder that history is not just confined within books but can be relished through evocative imagery like this remarkable photo print.
