Through the Hawsepipe: Marshall Johnson's Path Prom Po'c'sle Hand to Master Painter

摘要

In 1900, four Boston marine artists were at the peak of their careers. In the new century, few artists would ship before the mast and work square-rigged ships, as had three of the four. The Boston Daily Globe commented: "Marshall Johnson was one of the last of a great group of American marine painters who specialized in the picturesque square-rigged vessels for which America was famous." Along with most of the square-rigged ships, these artists were gone by 1922.
