A propos de cet article

Good. Several edge tears professionally repaired on verso. Tear extending 2.5 inches into printed image from top margin professionally repaired on verso. Size 27 x 39 Inches. A charming 1859 lithographic view of Gloucester, Massachusetts, by the legendary Cape Ann marine painter Fitz Henry Lane. This is the third and largest of Lane's lithographic views of Gloucester. The view looks northeast towards Gloucester from Rocky Neck, an outcropping near Smith's Cove. While dimensionally the largest of Lane's Gloucester views, this also has the narrowest coverage, roughly 74°, allowing him to focus on the bustling Harbor Cove and adjacent Duncan's Point, where his studio was located. Breaking Down the View The view covers Gloucester Harbor from Fort Point (at left) to Harbor Cove (at center) and Duncan Point (at right). Around Fort Point, most of the buildings are obscured by the city's bustling maritime traffic. Around Harbor Cove, some constructions, including the steeples of the Universalist Church and a newly constructed Baptist Church, are recognizable. In the foreground, two men in a wherry (small rowboat) pull in a gill net - probably fishing for herring. A large bark at the center is potentially a salt trader - by 1859, a declining business in Gloucester. Most of the smaller vessels are schooners - ideal for coastal fishing. The dichotomy underscores the transition Gloucester was then undergoing. Most major shipping had by this time moved to Boston, with its deep-water port, leaving Gloucester to smaller fishing vessels, more and more of which were calling it home. In the bucolic foreground, two children and a dog wistfully observe the busy comings and goings. In the Press Lane's 1859 view was well received by the press, who promoted its virtues. This is a quote from the January 28, 1859, issue of the Cape Ann Advertiser (odd spelling included) Few marine artists are equal to Mr. Lane in correctness and fulness of detail. His ships look like ships, and seem almost to be in motion, for they are drawn by one who knows every rope and line, both nautically and artistically. His reputation is established, and his pictures adorn the residences of many admirers in distant cities, where his productions are estimated according to their true value. We hope that his fellow citizens will appreciate the feeling which has prompted him to publish this new view of Gloucester, and by their patronage will reward him pecuniarily, as he deserves. The pictures offered as prizes are fine and faithful sketches of well-known localities, and need only to be seen to be appreciated. Publication History and Census This view is based upon a painting by Lane completed in 1857 or 1858. In 1858, the Cape Ann Advertiser began promoting subscription sales of the view. It was transferred to lithographic stone by fellow Gloucester man Lodowick Harrington Bradford and printed by Proctor Brothers, also of Gloucester. According to the 1859 Gloucester Telegraph , only 300 pressings were completed. Today, surviving examples are scarce; we note eight in institutional collections but limited market history. Most examples appear in two colors, but some have additional hand-tinting that was likely done aftermarket. References: Cape Ann Museum, Fitz Henry Lane, inv 446.…
