TYNEMOUTH - ENGLAND - Related Place; LONDON - ENGLAND - Publisher
SHORT DESCRIPTION: The print shows a view of Tynemouth from South Shields, looking across the mouth of the River Tyne where it meets the North Sea. In the background the ruins of the Tynemouth Priory sit near a lighthouse on the right side of a cliff. In the midground there are two ships that appear to have wrecked in the rough waters, with sailors clinging to the side of one ship while waves splash high between the two. On the right a small rowboat is near the ships and a second one is riding the waves at the edge of the print. On the left there is a crowd of people on the shore. In the foreground there are several large masts that have washed ashore, with people and horses trying to salvage what they can and pull them ashore. NOTES: The print is from “Picturesque Views in England and Wales,” published by Moon, Boys, and Graves in 1832. Turner painted the original watercolor in about 1829, but according to the Tate Galleries website that painting was destroyed by fire in 1962. William Richard Smith engraved the watercolor in 1831 for the “Picturesque Views in England and Wales.” Robert Jennings & Co. published the first parts of the series beginning in 1827, but Moon, Boys, and Graves Gallery took over in early 1831. The publisher changed again in 1838 when Longman, Orme, Brown, Green and Longmans took over. The Royal Academy website states that this print is from Part XI, No.3 [pl.43]. The Tynemouth Lighthouse shown in this print existed as of 1677 but was torn down in the late 1800s.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: The print shows the River Fowey looking south toward the bay that opens into the English Channel. In the foreground there are people clinging to the wreckage of a ship near the shoreline, with a few people already on shore on the right near a square stone tower. In the distance there is a stone castle on the right side of the river, St. Catherine’s Castle. On the left there is a hill where Polruan Castle should be but Turner did not include it in this work as he did with LE 784. NOTES: The print is from “Picturesque Views in England and Wales,” published by Robert Jennings & Co. between 1829 and 1831. According to the Tate Galleries website, Jennings published the first parts of the series beginning in 1827, but Moon, Boys, and Graves Gallery took over in early 1831. The publisher changed again in 1838 when Longman, Orme, Brown, Green and Longmans took over. The original watercolor is in the collection of The Clark Art Institute, object number 2007.8.110. Turner painted this ca 1827 and the full title is “Entrance to Fowey Harbour, Cornwall.” According to the Tate Galleries website, Turner used a sketch from 1811 to create this painting, which is similar to another painting that appears in the print LE 784. From the British Museum, William Richard Smith engraved this in 1829.
