EDITORS COMMENTS
John Raphael Smith's captivating aquatint print, "Margate, Inner View of the Pier, Bathing Rooms, and taken from the Shipwrights," transports us back to the picturesque English coastal town of Margate, Kent, in the early 19th century. The image, published on June 1, 1805, offers a panoramic view of the pier and bathing rooms as seen from the Shipwrights. The pier, a popular attraction for visitors, extends gracefully into the English Channel, with the bathing rooms nestled at its end. The scene is filled with a vibrant mix of colors and contrasts. The pier and bathing rooms are bathed in the warm glow of the sun, while the sea and sky are a cool blue. The pier's wooden structure, etched and hand-colored on ivory wove paper, stands out against the backdrop of the calm sea. The bathing rooms, with their whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs, provide a stark contrast to the natural beauty of the coastline. The print is populated with a diverse group of people, both men and women, enjoying the day at the seaside. Children play in the sand, while adults relax on the pier or in the bathing rooms. A man in a top hat and coat observes the scene from the foreground, while a woman in a flowing dress and bonnet walks along the pier, her hand shading her eyes from the sun. Smith's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow bring this scene to life, transporting us to a bygone era and inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a day at the seaside in 1805 Margate.
