Description: | The crew of the Northumberland Lifeboat are shown rescuing a woman from the sea off Tynemouth. In such a rough sea, so cleverly engraved by Luke Clennell, it's amazing the crew can hang on to their hats! This print is engraved in the energetic and spirited style that Clennell developed after leaving the Newcastle workshop of Thomas Bewick. This picture is from Solomon Hodgson's 'The Hive of Ancient and Modern Literature', published in 1806. Clennell engraved many scenes for book illustrations, working sometimes from his own designs and sometimes from designs drawn by other artists. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1806 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Luke Clennell | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
