'Sea Urchins' Catalogue No. 20
A group of boys on the beach at Staithes, a fishing village along the coast to the north west of Whitby. The rock may still be seen today, virtually unchanged from the 1880s when this photograph was taken.

Available in medium (210 x 276mm).

'Trees in a Misty Valley'; Catalogue No.43:
This photograph gained an award when exhibited at Tokyo in 1893. A composition which under almost any other lighting and atmospheric conditions would be mundane, becomes a thing of beauty under the inluence of a 'sea fret' - a coastal fog frequently experienced on the North Sea coast.

Available in small (114 x 152mm) and medium (210 x 276mm).

'The Haven under the Hill' Catalogue No. 80
Whitby town and harbour photographed from the East Cliff. The rooftops of Henrietta Street can be seen in the foreground. This is one of the most dramatic and atmospheric photographs in the collection of work by Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. It is from an early duplicate negative and the impressionistic effect is almost certainly the result of Sutcliffe having used a bromoil print as an intermediate from which he made the copy negative. It is easy see to why Bram Stoker set a substantial part of his Gothic novel 'Dracula' in the ancient port of Whitby! The title is taken from an early postcard published by Sutcliffe.
Available in small (114 x 152mm)
