EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Govan, on the Clyde, with the Mouth of the Kelvin, as it was in 1842" takes us back to a bygone era. Created by William Crimea Simpson in 1888 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the historical charm of Glasgow's Govan district. The scene showcases the magnificent River Clyde flowing gracefully through the heart of Govan. With its bustling waterfront and towering ships dotting the horizon, one can almost hear the sounds of industry and trade that once defined this area. The mouth of the Kelvin River adds an extra touch of natural beauty to this picturesque setting. Simpson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving. From architectural landmarks like churches and warehouses to tiny figures going about their daily lives along the riverbank, each element contributes to a rich tapestry capturing life in mid-19th century Scotland. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back in time—a testament to both Simpson's skill as an artist and our enduring fascination with history. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there is value in preserving our heritage and appreciating how far we have come.
