EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to 1859, capturing a moment of history along the Thames River. The etching, titled "Thames Police Wapping Wharf 1859" showcases the fifth state of this remarkable artwork by James McNeill Whistler, an American artist born in Lowell, Massachusetts. The scene depicted is set at Wapping Wharf in London and portrays the Thames Police going about their duties. The intricate details etched onto medium weight ivory laid paper using black ink bring this historical moment to life. The plate measures approximately 5 7/8 x 15 inches (15 x 38 cm), allowing viewers to appreciate every nuance and stroke. Whistler's skillful craftsmanship shines through as he captures the essence of bustling activity along the riverfront. This particular print was produced in Glasgow and is part of a series that showcases Whistler's talent for depicting urban scenes with great precision and artistic flair. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported back to Victorian-era London, where police officers diligently patrolled the busy wharves alongside majestic sailing ships. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space, offering us glimpses into different eras while preserving moments that might otherwise be lost forever.
