EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling Queens Dock in Glasgow, Scotland, taken from an aerial perspective. The year is 1900, and the image captures a vibrant scene of industrial activity and residential life along the River Clyde. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to Yorkhill, a district within Glasgow's Lanarkshire region. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the magnificent Titan Cantilever Crane that proudly stands tall amidst its surroundings. This engineering marvel symbolizes the city's thriving shipbuilding industry at the time. Its imposing presence serves as a reminder of Glasgow's reputation as one of Britain's foremost maritime centers. As our gaze expands beyond the crane, we observe rows upon rows of housing units nestled alongside warehouses and chimneys that dot the landscape. These structures bear witness to a community intricately linked to both river trade and industrial production. The River Clyde itself takes center stage in this composition; its shimmering waters reflecting both sunlight and shadows cast by passing ships. It served as a vital artery for transportation during this era when steamers would navigate these waters with goods destined for far-flung destinations. This remarkable print provides us with an invaluable glimpse into Glasgow's past - an urban tapestry woven together by commerce, industry, and everyday life on Scotland's iconic riverfront.
