Description

The South Harbour, Whitehaven 1898 watercolour by George Nelson Junior (d.1921). In this colourful view of Whitehaven harbour, ships and boats of varying sizes are moored in the calm waters beside the jetty or harbour walls. Beyond the harbour lies the town, rising up into the hillside. The tall chimney in the right of the composition is the site of William colliery. The watercolour was given to Tullie House in the same year it was painted by the Cumberland and Westmorland Arts and Crafts Society. George Nelson Junior was a prominent local artist, who trained in Liverpool and the Slade in London. Soon after his return to his home town of Whitehaven he painted this work.
