EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the enchanting coastal landscapes of 19th century America. Created by renowned artist Winslow Homer, this wood engraving on newsprint captures the essence of a summer holiday with its realistic portrayal of people enjoying their time by the seashore. In this artwork, we see a group of men, women, and children gathered around a rock pool teeming with aquatic life. The attention to detail is remarkable as Homer skillfully depicts various crustaceans like lobsters from the nephropidae family. Amongst them stands a mischievous child holding one such lobster, adding an element of playfulness to the scene.
