EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour print of Lowestoft in 1850 captures the essence of maritime life during the 19th century. The delicate brushstrokes and intricate details bring to life a scene of a cutter or smack at anchor, juxtaposed with a foundered brig with its sails still up. The artist's skillful use of scratching out technique adds depth and texture to the composition.
The inscription 'Lowestoft. Sept.3.50' provides historical context to this artwork, which was part of Edward Gennys Fanshawe's West Indies, North American and Borneo scrapbook. Despite being attributed to Fanshawe initially, it is believed that he could not have created this piece as he was in the Pacific at the time.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a bustling port town on the coast of England. The calm waters and majestic ships evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone but immortalized through art.
This print serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and the importance of preserving such historical treasures for future generations to appreciate and admire.
