EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Landing at Greenwich, c1780" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The vibrant watercolour, held at The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, beautifully captures a scene of transportation and outdoor activity. In this lively depiction, we see a crowded harbour filled with boats and people going about their day. Men and women alike are seen disembarking from the boats, creating an atmosphere of arrival and movement. Amidst the chaos, one cannot help but notice a drunken man stumbling off his boat while a lady looks on with surprise. The image not only showcases the transport methods of that era but also provides insight into social dynamics and debauchery prevalent during that time. It offers a glimpse into daily life in Greenwich as well as the diverse range of characters who inhabited it. Published in 1942 by The Studio Ltd. , this print is part of The Studio Volume 124 collection which aimed to showcase various artworks from different periods. Through this publication, viewers can appreciate Rowlandson's talent for capturing landscapes through watercolours. As we observe this historical piece today, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over centuries while highlighting certain timeless aspects such as human behavior and our fascination with transportation.
