The Ferry-Boat
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the hustle and bustle of a typical day on Scotland's waters. This remarkable print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of transportation in an era long gone. The scene depicts a bustling ferry boat filled with passengers and their livestock, eagerly awaiting their journey across the water. Sheep can be seen huddled together on board, adding an authentic touch to this snapshot of rural life. The boat itself stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its time. With its intricate details and skilled artistry, this engraving was originally created for publication in The Illustrated London News in March 1873. It offers viewers a glimpse into history while also highlighting the importance of efficient transport systems during that period. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are transported back to an era when boats were not only means of travel but also vital lifelines connecting communities. Whether it was people or livestock being ferried across these waters, such scenes would have been commonplace at that time. "The Ferry-Boat" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document—a window into our past where everyday activities took place against picturesque Scottish landscapes.
