Description: | Coloured engraving . The view shows Liverpool from Seacombe, a ward in the district of Wallasey, Merseyside. Seacombe is on the edge of the River Mersey and positioned at one of the narrowest points in the river. The first ferry to cross the Mersey from Seacombe to Liverpool is recorded in the ‘Domesday Book’ of 1086 and the service continues today. The group of people standing on the riverside to the left of the composition may well be waiting for the next Seacombe ferry.
The artist of this work, John P. Jenkinson, also drew the design for a print titled ‘View of Liverpool from the Magazines’ (artillery stores). The print, also engraved by T. Dixon, was published four years before this work in 1816. | Subjects: | church donkey ship rowing boat harbour horse dome quay cow cart sailboat topography seascape/coastal scene woman sheep dog townscape/cityscape man | Temporal: | 1820 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | John P Jenkinson (Artist) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
