We just opened the portfolio of works that we received this week and are thrilled to have this wonderful selection of etchings to present. While we are still cataloguing and photographing, we wanted to post these two very special pieces today. Both etchings depict majestic schooners at sea. In Barbour's 'Seabird' Leaving Newtown, the commanding 'Seabird' makes its' way confidently through calm waters with its' sails full and its' flags unfurled. In the much moodier 'The Flora L. Nickerson' Leaving for the Labrador, the scene is not as serene. Both the sea and sky are much more energetic and turbulent, and the whole seascape is made a little more foreboding by the looming iceberg.
