Title: "Industrial City View" (circa 1916) - A Captivating Glance into the Past This evocative painting, titled "Industrial City View," transports us back in time to circa 1916. The scene showcases a bustling industrial city, with its distinctive smokestacks belching plumes of smoke into the sky, a testament to the economic power and progress of the era. The city's skyline is framed by the wide, meandering river, which adds a sense of tranquility and contrast to the industrial scene. Boats, both large and small, navigate the river, their sails billowing in the wind, adding a sense of movement and activity to the scene. The foreground trees, with their vibrant autumnal hues, provide a beautiful contrast to the industrial backdrop, offering a glimpse of nature's resilience amidst the urban landscape. This work of art, which measures approximately 10 inches by 14 inches, was published in a popular magazine, likely in the April volume of a certain year. The artist, John Riddle, masterfully captures the essence of the era, offering a unique perspective on the industrial cityscape of the early 20th century. The painting's rich colors and intricate details make it a must-have for any collector of historical art or those with an appreciation for the evolution of urban landscapes. This print, part of the esteemed March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rare and valuable addition to any collection or decorative space. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back in time, offering us a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the incredible progress and transformation that has taken place over the last century.
