Description: | The man at the front of this scene has come to collect a parcel brought by the ship. As he puts his coins on the table to pay Customs duty, one officer carefully fills in details of the payment in a ledger. The other official seals the parcel with red wax, proving that duty has been paid. Ralph Hedley was a Newcastle artist and woodcarver who specialised in painting local people and scenes. His work provides an important record of life in the region in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement work artists oil paintings living in the North East transport art North East artists men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
