An introduction to maritime prints, drawings and watercolours which is
written for experts and enthusiasts alike. The text includes a
historical survey tracing the development of marine art and exploring
the technique and subject-matter of the pictures.
Although the most famous seventeenth century Dutch maritime painters are
covered, the author concentrates on lesser known (and less expensive)
works from 1800 onwards that are readily available to the collector. The
book addresses important questions about maritime drawings and prints,
from the subject and location to larger questions of connoisseurship.
