EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1936, offering a glimpse into the bustling King George V Graving Dock in Southampton. As part of the "Sights of Britain" series, this image was featured on cigarette cards issued with Senior Service, Junior Member, and Illingworth cigarettes. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the sheer magnitude of this impressive dock. Moored boats dot the water's surface while workers scurry about their daily tasks on land. The panorama captures not only the exterior beauty of this location but also its historical significance as a vital hub for maritime activity. King George V Graving Dock stands proudly against an English backdrop, symbolizing Britain's industrial prowess during that era. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when docks like these were at their peak, serving as gateways for trade and travel. While we may not know who specifically captured this remarkable scene or how it came to be preserved on a cigarette card, we can still marvel at its timeless appeal. It serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us of the importance of preserving such images for future generations.
