This print titled "Sale of the Boat" transports us back to a coastal village in 1882. This hand coloured engraving, created by Phillip Richard Morris, depicts a scene bustling with activity and emotion. In the foreground, we see a group of children standing pensively near a fishing boat that is up for sale. Their curious gazes hint at their longing to explore the vast sea and embark on new adventures. The composition beautifully captures the essence of maritime life, showcasing various boats dotting the shoreline. Fishing nets are strewn across the dock, symbolizing both livelihood and sustenance for this close-knit community. A tugboat gracefully glides through the calm waters in the distance, adding an element of movement and transport.
