Summary[edit]
DescriptionImports from France Boitard 1757.jpg |
English: In 1757 the artist Louis Philippe Boitard produced a view of the Legal Quays, between Billingsgate Dock and the Tower of London.[1]
Boitard's engraving, 'Imports from France', provided a satirical look at Londoners' passion for French luxury goods and manners. Although Boitard deliberately exaggerated the number of both people and shipping, he also provided the most accurate picture of the Legal Quays at work. Boitard recorded treadwheel cranes, beamscales, Customs' Officers gauging barrels and porters handling cargoes. Smuggling, theft and pilferage of cargoes were rife on both the busy open wharves and in the crowded warehouses. |
