An introduction to maritime prints, drawings and watercolours with a survey of the development of marine art. What is the difference between an engraving and an etching? How can you be sure that the picture you are looking at is an original watercolour and not a high quality photographic reproduction? This book provides the answers to these questions in a fascinating chapter on prints and processes. It also provides guidance to buying pictures and introduces the reader to the variety of ship types to be found in marine prints and drawing. The text includes a sweeping historical survey of marine artists and printmakers from earliest times to the present day. Turner, Winslow Homer and the Van de Veldes will be found here, as well as lesser known artists whose works are less expensive and more readily available for the collector. There is a useful checklist of artists and a glossary of printing terms. With beautiful illustrations and an authoritative text by one of the leading experts on the subject, this book provides an ideal introduction for collectors, art dealers, curators, yachtsmen and women, and anyone who has an interest in ships and the seas.
