EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Harbour of Port Hamilton, Corea, the New Coaling Station in the North Pacific" takes us back to 19th-century Asia. The image showcases a bustling scene at the newly established coaling station in Port Hamilton, Korea. In this snapshot of history captured by an English School artist, we witness a vibrant harbor filled with ships from various nations. The composition beautifully captures the fusion of cultures and trade that defined this era. Korean locals can be seen going about their daily activities alongside foreign sailors unloading cargo and tending to their vessels. The significance of this coaling station cannot be overstated. As one of the few strategic refueling points for ships traveling across the vast expanse of the North Pacific Ocean, it played a crucial role in facilitating global maritime commerce during that time. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship evident in this engraving transport us back to a period when exploration and international relations were rapidly evolving. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its educational significance as it offers insights into Asian history and maritime trade routes during that era.
