Engraved by William James Palmer (active 1858 – 1896). Wood-engraver. Brief partnership with E.M.Wimperis as ‘Palmer and Wimperis.’
From a picture by Lionel Percy Smythe (1839 – 1918). A British artist, and etcher. Smythe was educated at King’s College School. He trained in art at the Heatherley School of Fine Art. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1863 (becoming a member in 1911) and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours from 1881 (becoming a member in 1880) – he eventually transferred his allegiance to the Royal Watercolour Society in 1892, becoming a member in 1894. Smythe painted rural landscapes, genre and maritime scenes, people and animals in both oils and watercolours, and became associated with the Idyllists.
Smythe drew preliminary studies for this painting on the schooner “Wave” sailing from Gravesend to Guernsey.
