EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured etching captures a picturesque view of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as seen from the East Shore. Created by an anonymous English artist in the late 18th century, this print showcases the beauty of this coastal town during that era. The artwork is part of "The Atlantic Neptune" a publication intended for use by the Royal Navy of Great Britain. It offers a panoramic image that spans approximately 61.8 x 92cm when including its mount. In this scene, we see the bustling activity along the shoreline with ships and water vessels dotting the sea. The sky above is filled with fluffy clouds, creating a serene backdrop for this vibrant coastal landscape. As our eyes wander through the composition, we notice two animals grazing peacefully amidst nature's abundance - perhaps representing harmony between humans and wildlife in this idyllic setting. The hand colouring adds depth and richness to every detail, enhancing our appreciation for both natural elements like trees and leaves as well as man-made structures such as buildings overlooking the water. This print transports us back to a time when Portsmouth was thriving with life and maritime activities. It serves as a visual reminder of how much has changed over centuries while also highlighting timeless aspects of human connection to nature and exploration.
