Description

Lavenham, Suffolk:Terence Dalton Limited. 1975. 136pp. Illustrated. Hardcover with dust jacket. A very good, clean copy with a very good, slightly edgeworn dust jacket. *This book deals exclusively and authoritatively with the "Pier-head Artists" and their work. This was the name given by seamen to the artists who supplied them with portraits of the ships they sailed in, pictures which a century ago changed hands for a few shillings and are now eagerly sought after by collectors and museums.
