The Old Customs House in Poole, Dorset, England, has transformed into a charming pavement cafe that exudes historic charm. As you sip your coffee and indulge in delicious treats, take a moment to appreciate the rich history surrounding this establishment. Did you know that Surgeon William Maillard, RN, accomplished an extraordinary feat at Candia? He was awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross for his bravery during battle. This litho artwork serves as a reminder of his remarkable achievement. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean in Massachusetts, USA lies another iconic Customs House. Its grandeur stands tall amidst the bustling streets of Boston. Step inside and immerse yourself in its captivating architecture and intriguing tales from centuries past. Venturing further east to Venice, Italy brings us to Santa Maria della Salute and the Dogana. This breathtaking oil on canvas painting captures the beauty of these architectural marvels against a backdrop of Venetian canals. It's like stepping into a time capsule. Traveling even farther east will lead you to Shanghai's Bund district in China. The buildings along this famous waterfront showcase stunning both modern and traditional architecture. Among them is the Customs House - an elegant structure that adds sophistication to Shanghai's skyline. Back in Dublin, Ireland during 1870 stood yet another impressive Customs House - now digitally restored for all to admire its historical significance once again. This piece transports us back to an era where trade thrived within its walls. Speaking of artistry inspired by customs houses, Landscape after Turner's The Dogana offers a unique perspective on San Giorgio Island from Europa Steps' vantage point. With watercolors and pencil strokes delicately applied on paper, it beautifully captures nature's harmony with man-made structures. Delving deeper into history takes us back to 1702 when Peter Schenk created View of the Dogana - showcasing this iconic building alongside Venice's enchanting cityscape during that time period. It's a testament to the enduring allure of customs houses throughout the ages.
