Is there a print available of this?

thanks.

Les Docks de Cardiff is currently in the Louvre Abu Dhabi. It looks wonderful.

Dear Marc,

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I think I would like a print of the larger work (NMW A 2245).

Kind regards,

Sheila G.

Dear Ms Glover,

Thank you very much for your comment. I see that you have also requested a print here, at the webpage for Walden's preparatory study for this painting. Could you please confirm that you do in fact want prints of both, or would you rather one or the other? I would then be happy to put you in touch with our image licensing team to have a print made for you.

Kind regards,

Fabulous painting. Please can you let me know if it is possible to buy a print?

Walden seems to have painted a number of scenes around the area to the north of the docks in Cardiff, which was once a warren of railway lines at different levels between the wharves and the steelworks, and a hive of constant and unrelenting noise and activity. Melanie and Katheline's comment that there is no human activity does not ring true in my interpretation; there is almost nothing in the picture that does not represent human activity at it's most intense and industrious. No human figures are visible, but thousands are toiling in the steelworks, hundreds more on the railway, and more still on the docks and in the many smaller industries and workshops, all of it going flat out on shiftwork and ignoring the gloom and rain.

This picture makes me curious ; it gives me the impression that behind this scene there is a sad story
because of the dark colours in it . The industrial revolution is well evoked with the steam train , the
electricity , the booming activity in the docks. It is at the dawn of progress.
Human life seems to be absent in this painting, which creates a drab atmosphere

Lionel Walden has created a dark atmosphere and it is typical of the time. This helps to imagine what life was like in the XIXth century, especially on the docks. The dark colors create a gloomy atmosphere.
