Description: | Sailors are playing draughts in the cramped space below deck on board ship. The man at the back of the table is wearing an oilskin hat. To the left of him, one of the players is wearing a protective apron and heavy boots. Two of them are wearing simple knitted tube hats, striped in white red and blue. Henry Perlee Parker lived in Newcastle from 1815 to 1841. He was well known for his pictures of sailors and smugglers. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work art movement artists living in the North East watercolours clothes art North East artists men people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
