The Promenade, Sandsend

'The Promenade, Sandsend' Catalogue No.61:
This view has changed little over the years and is still easily recognizeable even today. One of Sutcliffe's earlier photographs, taken on a wet plate negative probably dating from around the mid 1870s. An exposure of a few seconds was likely, as evidenced by traces of movement amongst some of the figures.

Available in small (114 x 152mm)

Evening over the Bay

'Evening over the Bay' Catalogue No. 69
The young girl was probably one of Sutcliffe's daughters looking out over Sandsend Bay towards Kettleness below a sunset sky. Even in this tranquil image the practicalities of everyday life intrude. The low wooden rail on which the girl's foot is resting was a rubbing strip along which a rope could slide when a becalmed boat was being manually towed up the harbour.

Available in LARGE (300 x 400mm; 12" x 16").
