PRICE LOWERED from $4500!

RARE and FABULOUS, this absolutely incredible work is watercolor and pen and ink over pencil.

English artist Alfred Hunt (1820-1920) was a designer of illustrations and painter of panoramic modern-life subjects. Hunt was a frequent contributor of wood block illustrations to the Illustrated London News in the 1860s.

“The Tidal Boat at Boulogne” shows the arrival of the cross-channel steam packet at Boulogne, France with travelers disembarking the ship by gangplanks, while a French gendarme and other officials of the shipping line watch on. This print was reproduced as a lithographic plate by Leighton Brothers in 1853. It seems, therefore, to be an early work by the artist, pre-dating his designs for Illustrated London News.

There is a watermark is the lower-left corner. There are a multitude of faces, cultures, and classes but the most interesting feature, to me, is the bag flying out of the horse-drawn baggage wagon!

I don’t know if the frame is original, but it is old—all wood on front and back.

31”W x 24”H

I have an entire collection of artworks listed. Be sure to check them out!

Can be seen/picked up in Corona or Costa Mesa. Cash or PayPal only please.

Thanks for looking, Mike
