Lot Report

Provenance:

With Brisbane C. Knights Picture Framing Works, Australia

Literature:

E.H.H. Archibald, Dictionary of Sea Painters, p. 124

Note:

Born in Godalming Surrey, the artist went to sea in oyster and crab smacks, joined the Royal Navy, leaving in 1865 to begin marine painting. In 1885, he emigrated to Australia and founded the Queensland Art Society in Brisbane, where he died in 1901.
The Lizard is a peninsula that sticks out into the channel so far that it is the biggest ship trap in British waters, where wrecks of all ages and treasures lay. In rough weather, the Admiralty advises navigators to stay three or more miles off the coast.
