Description: | This winter scene shows the Tyne ferry landing spot at Comical Corner, South Shields. The artist recorded that he hired a boat, and sat in it to paint the picture. This watercolour is typical of his illustrations of old buildings found at the mouth of the Tyne. These unhealthy dwellings, warehouses and workshops have been gradually demolished since the 1920s. George Horton painted many views of North and South Shields. He was the leading local artist in the early 20th century. | 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 South Tyneside North East artists | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
