EDITORS COMMENTS
"Title: Shipbuilding in Rye, East Sussex, Circa 1915 This evocative painting captures the intricate and labor-intensive process of shipbuilding in the English town of Rye, located on the picturesque coast of East Sussex. Dating back to circa 1915, the artwork beautifully depicts a stage in the shipbuilding process where boats are carefully positioned in frames, designed to keep them stable while essential work is carried out. The boats, bathed in the warm, natural light, sit serenely within the wooden structures, their hulls exposed for the skilled craftsmen to work on. The frames, with their intricate patterns and textures, create a striking contrast against the smooth, glossy surfaces of the boats. The scene is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Rye, a town steeped in history and tradition. The painting's muted color palette, reminiscent of a vintage magazine, transports us back in time, inviting us to witness the artistry and dedication that goes into the creation of these magnificent vessels. This work of art, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a must-have for anyone interested in maritime history, local history, or the intricacies of traditional craftsmanship. With a September issue of a magazine as its backdrop, this painting is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the shipbuilding industry and the town of Rye during the early 20th century." Artist: John Riddle (not the company) Magazine Volume: September Year: Circa 1915.
