EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "Steam boat on the Clyde near Dumbarton" takes us back in time to the early 19th century. The image showcases a bustling scene on the river, with a magnificent steamboat gliding through the water. The vessel's paddle wheels churn up waves as it navigates its way near Dumbarton Rock. The print is part of William Daniell's renowned series, "A Voyage Around Great Britain" which documented his travels between 1814 and 1825. This particular artwork transports us to a moment when steam-powered boats were revolutionizing transportation and trade. The river is teeming with activity - smaller boats crisscrossing paths, tugboats guiding larger vessels, and passengers eagerly boarding or disembarking from ferries. Thick plumes of smoke rise from the steamboat's funnel, symbolizing progress and industrialization. Dumbarton Rock looms majestically in the background, adding an element of grandeur to this already vibrant scene. It serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich history and natural beauty. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how steam power transformed river travel during that era. It captures not only the technical marvels of engineering but also evokes a sense of adventure and excitement that must have accompanied these journeys along the Clyde River.
