Description: | Bill Point was a high, sharp peak that jutted into the River Tyne on the Newcastle side, opposite Bill Quay. (The Point was later removed). A flat-bottomed keelboat is shown on the left of this view. A wooden framework has been built up to contain its cargo of coal. Alongside is another cargo boat. Luke Clennell was one of the apprentices of the North East wood-engraver and artist Thomas Bewick. However, this sketch was probably painted for its own sake, rather than as a study for an engraving. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East watercolours transport buildings and views art Newcastle coal mining | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
