 Turner and the Whale Art, Design and Fashion : Art 

by Jason Edwards (Editor)

Paperback in Very Good condition with light wear.

Published by Shire Publications - 2017. 144 pages. 19cm x 19cm.

J.M.W. Turner's quartet of whaling pictures from the mid-1840s are widely acclaimed as some of the finest representations of Arctic whaling from across the long nineteenth century.

Turner and the Whale considers these pictures in the context of a range of images and objects drawn from the collections of the Hull Maritime Museum. These include examples of Inuit carvings, canvases from the city's unique school of maritime painters, scrimshaw carved by Victorian whalers, and natural history specimens brought back to Hull from the Arctic.
