The harbours of England
The Harbours of England is an 1856 London book of engraved harbour views published by E. Gambart and Co., made by the engraver Thomas Goff Lupton and aimed at a general art-buying public. Its plates are steel-engraved views of English ports, many printed sideways on the page, showing ships, quays and rough coastal water in dramatic light and shadow that a designer could use for maritime mood, tonal contrast and period seascape references.
