Painting Description
"A West View of the New Dock at Kingston upon Hull" is an engraving by Robert Thew, an English engraver known for his work in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The piece depicts the New Dock in the port town of Kingston upon Hull, also known simply as Hull, which is located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The artwork serves as a historical record of the maritime infrastructure during a period of significant commercial growth and industrial development in the region.
Commissioned during a time when the expansion of dock facilities was critical to supporting the burgeoning trade and shipping industries, Thew's engraving captures the bustling activity and the architectural advancements of the period. The New Dock, later known as Queen's Dock, was one of several docks constructed in Hull to accommodate the increase in maritime traffic and the larger vessels that were coming into use.
Robert Thew, active from the 1780s until his death in 1802, was renowned for his skill in translating paintings into engravings. While he worked on various subjects, his engravings of maritime scenes are particularly noted for their detail and accuracy. "A West View of the New Dock at Kingston upon Hull" is a prime example of Thew's adeptness at capturing the essence of a locale and its significance to the economic vitality of the area.
The engraving not only serves as a piece of artistic merit but also as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the industrial landscape of Hull and the role the port played in the United Kingdom's maritime history. It is a testament to the importance of visual art in chronicling the development of urban and industrial environments during the turn of the 19th century.
