Illustration to Frank H. Whitmore — Fine Art

The Illustration to Frank H. Whitmore shows a figure and a ship near a rocky coast, drawn in black ink with a wash of grey and blue. Rockwell Kent worked with wood engraving and ink, leaving clean lines and flat tones in the picture. The scene holds a still mood against the open water.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame is needed. The printed sheet is matte, so the grey wash stays soft and there is no shine under a lamp.

It hangs on the stairwell wall where the light is low. From the landing you see the dark hull and the pale sky, and the ink lines read clearly without glare.
