Betwixt the Forelands. [Historical essays

RUSSELL, William Clark. · 1889 · Sampson Low & Co. · 24 pictures

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.
