A scene on the Thames off the shoreline east of Greenwich in Blackwall Reach. There are two rowing boats in the foreground. The boat on the left is laden with supplies and the other is a peter boat, which is a distinctive Thames and Medway fishing craft. In the distance, to the left, the Royal Hospital at Greenwich is just visible on the skyline and to the right two small sailing vessels are shown becalmed. A rowing boat is shown pulled up on the shore of the Isle of Dogs, which was still largely a rural area. There is another group of vessels in the distance and a peter boat under sail on the extreme right.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas print captures a serene scene of Greenwich from Blackwall Reach, dating back to the early 19th century. The calm waters of the Thames are dotted with rowing boats, one laden with supplies and another a distinctive Thames and Medway fishing craft known as a peter boat. In the distance, the Royal Hospital at Greenwich can be seen on the skyline, while small sailing vessels drift lazily in the stillness.
The shoreline of the Isle of Dogs is depicted as a rural area, with a rowing boat pulled up on its shore. Further out, more vessels dot the horizon, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of this riverside view. The soft colors and gentle brushstrokes evoke a sense of tranquility and nostalgia for a bygone era.
This painting not only showcases British maritime history but also serves as a reminder of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. It is a window into an idyllic moment frozen in time, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty and serenity of this historic scene captured by an unknown artist from the 19th century.
