The painting

The port of Chester 1863, the more one learns about this sophisticated, complex painting The port of Chester 1863 the more one realises it is an amazing picture.
We will never see its like again.

The Chester port is shown here on a fine May morning in 1863 represents the combined knowledge of many  people particularly from Chester who generously gave time and knowledge to ensure this is the most accurate possible historical ‘guess’ possible.

For sure it would be near impossible and very expensive to produce a painting to rival to “Port of Chester 1863” today.
The City of Chester Council who were considering how best to redevelop this site considered this painting to be sufficiently important, significant, to merit the rare honour of a Civic Reception, which included a display of 35 other paintings and two panels of press cuttings
Over 400 invited guests attended, enjoying a buffet and wines sponsored by local businesses, the gallery sold 95 framed prints that night.
