BELCROUTE BAY, JERSEY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS
BELCROUTE
BAY
JERSEY - THE CHANNEL ISLANDS
Approximate Overall Size: 5 x 8 inches
DESCRIPTION: West of
St. Aubin’s harbour lies the pretty bay of Bel Croute where there is a
small slipway giving on to clean sand, but to the right of the beach the shoreline
becomes rocky and extends right around to Noirmont Point.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Henry B Wimbush was one of Raphael
Tuck's most prolific artists, but despite his very high postcard output, he
remains a shadowy figure, only briefly chronicled in art dictionaries and reference
works. Although he first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1888, he was not
famous as a painter, and his work was not very well known.
CONDITION: Excellent. Early 1900s Publication. Book plate Print.
Period paper.
