EDITORS COMMENTS
This ink and watercolour drawing, titled "Site of the New Custom House, Lower Part of Waring Street, Store Lane (Belfast)" by James Moore, dates back to 1854. The image provides a detailed and intriguing glimpse into the urban landscape of Belfast during the mid-19th century. The focus of the drawing is on the site where the New Custom House was to be built, located at the lower part of Waring Street and Store Lane. The area is bustling with activity, as people and carts fill the narrow streets, and construction work is well underway on the new building. The old Custom House, which can be seen in the background, stands proudly with its classical columns and grand façade, a testament to the city's rich history. James Moore's masterful use of ink and watercolour brings the scene to life, capturing the texture of the buildings, the intricacies of the cobblestone streets, and the vibrant energy of the people and animals that populate the drawing. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way he renders the various textures of the buildings, from the rough stonework of the warehouses to the smooth, glossy finish of the wooden carts. The drawing also offers a fascinating glimpse into the urban development of Belfast during this period. The New Custom House, which was built in the late 1850s, was a significant architectural landmark in the city and played a crucial role in the growth of Belfast's commercial and industrial sectors. The drawing serves as an important historical record of the city's past, providing valuable insights into the people, places, and events that shaped Belfast's rich history. Overall, this beautiful drawing by James Moore is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Belfast and Ireland during the Victorian era. Its intricate details, vibrant energy, and historical significance make it a truly captivating work of art.
