EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Newcastle River Frontage" by Paul Marny offers a glimpse into the bustling industrial scene along the Tyne river in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The artist's meticulous use of bodycolour, pencil, and watercolor on paper brings to life the vibrant cityscape that once thrived with activity. In the center of the composition, a steam paddle tug takes center stage as it diligently pulls a group of keels or barges loaded with coal. To its right, an empty keel is skillfully rowed with a single oar at its rear. On the left side of the image, two keels equipped with cranes stand ready for their next task. The riverfront is lined with historic buildings that have managed to withstand time's relentless passage. However, delicate washes of blue originally used to depict sky and water have faded over time but do not diminish this artwork's allure. Paul Marny was primarily based in Scarborough, Yorkshire but captured this remarkable scene during his visit to Newcastle. This picturesque representation showcases both England's rich industrial heritage and its architectural beauty. Through this print from eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums' collection and made available by Bridgeman Images, viewers are transported back in time to witness an era when boats dotted the riverbanks and bridges connected communities. It serves as a testament to our ever-evolving transportation systems while preserving history within every brushstroke.
