Flounder Fishing at Waterloo Bridge - A Glimpse into 19th Century London's River Thames
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Flounder Fishing at Waterloo Bridge" takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives and professions of the era. Set against the iconic backdrop of Waterloo Bridge, we witness a scene filled with activity on the River Thames. The riverbanks are dotted with small boats as fishermen skillfully cast their lines in search of flounders. The tranquility of this moment is juxtaposed by the presence of a tugboat passing through, reminding us that even amidst leisurely pursuits, transport and trade were integral parts of city life. The attention to detail in this artwork transports us back in time; we can almost feel ourselves standing on that bridge observing these skilled anglers. This illustration was originally featured in The Graphic newspaper on July 24th, 1880 – a testament to its historical significance. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as a reminder not only of London's rich fishing heritage but also as an appreciation for those forgotten professions that once thrived along its riverside. It captures both the beauty and industriousness that defined Victorian England while offering us a window into history's pastel hues.
