Betwixt the Forelands. [Historical essays
Historical essays on the English Channel and its shipping by the sea novelist William Clark Russell, published in London by Sampson Low in 1889 for general Victorian readers. Wood-engraved plates show square-riggers under full sail, storm-wrecked hulls, and hazy harbour actions, with pale stippled skies and fine rigging lines useful as line-art ship silhouettes or spot illustration.
