EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Putney Bridge, 1882" is a captivating oil painting by Charles Napier Hemy that offers a glimpse into the bustling life along the River Thames in the late 19th century. The artwork, housed at Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, showcases an exquisite view of the bridge during low tide as seen from the Fulham side. Hemy's attention to detail and masterful brushstrokes bring this historical scene to life. The artist skillfully captures various elements of transportation and labor on the river, with boats and barges scattered across its surface. Workers can be seen unloading cargo while tradesmen go about their daily tasks along the riverbank. The painting also highlights Old Putney Bridge itself, which opened to traffic in 1729. Its architectural beauty stands tall against the backdrop of London's shorelines. A tollhouse nestled nearby adds an additional touch of authenticity to this vibrant portrayal of civil engineering. Through his artistic vision, Hemy transports viewers back in time to experience a moment frozen within history. This remarkable piece not only celebrates England's rich heritage but also pays homage to those who worked tirelessly on these waters. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork for generations to come, allowing us all to appreciate Hemy's talent and immerse ourselves in this snapshot of Victorian-era London.
