NEW FROM THE BLACKTHORN PRESS

NORTHERN SEASCAPES AND LANDSCAPES
Gordon Bell, Heather Bircahall and Arthur Credland

The north of England has repeatedly inspired painters to portray its scenery and ways of life. This was especially true at the turn of the nineteenth century when an upsurge of interest in its people, places and events was fuelled by affordable pictures and prints. These were the years before the widespread use of photography, when images were handmade by artists and engravers for a rapidly growing trade with publishers, printers and binders. This new volume examines the work of such artists from Turner to John Ward, the national figure to the local.
