| $1,800.00 | Kip--Johannes | Howland-Great-Dock-near-Deptford | Very scarce and beautiful antique view of the Howland Great Dock (now Greenland Dock) surrounded by countryside. By the Dutch engraver Johannes Kip. Drawn by J.Badslade. This old nautical view has something to offer those interested in nautical history as well as those with an appreciation for esthetics.<BR> </BR>
Antique copperplate-engraved print was created within 20 years of the completion of the dock in 1695; the trees can be seen to not yet have fully matured. Cattle graze nearby and a horse-drawn coach makes its way presumably to London which is identified in the distance. More than 35 ships are shown moored within the wet dock, underway in the Thames or under construction in drydock. During the 18th century the dock was used greatly by Greenland whalers and the dock began to be called the "Greenland Dock". Numerous details of ship construction. |
