The Fisherman’s Hut
A rustic waterside scene centered on a fisherman’s humble dwelling.
From The LeBlond Book by C. T. Courtney Lewis, 1920
The hut is seen on the right, and near it is the fisherman who, like James and John of old, is mending his nets, whilst his children are extracting the catch from the basket. Fishing-boats, and other articles indicative of his calling, are on the beach, and in the distance are the white cliffs of Albion and the sea-girt shore of our island home. Makes a good companion to No. 117.

M.R. 1 10s.
The print is signed on the bottom right centre.
