A Sea Storm.
[after Joseph Vernet.]
Printed for Jn.o Bowles [***] at the Black Horse in Cornhill, and Rob.t Sayer at the Buck in Fleet Street [n.d., c.1764].
Mezzotint. 250 x 320mm (9¾ x 12½"). Trimmed to image on three sides, into plate at bottom, laid on album paper.
A scene of a ship in trouble off a rocky shore, men working to save sailors from the water. Behind is an Italianate harbour with a lighthouse, with a lightning bolt crossing the sky. The removal of '& Son' from Bowles's address suggests this example was printed after Carington Bowles went independent in 1764. From a series of seascapes after Joseph Vernet (1714-89), father of Carle.
[Ref: 60181] £140.00
