Maritime Plymouth paintings, , between 1815 and 1914, over 430,000 people left as emigrants, most of them via this Wharf.
Some paintings will always have a value, this is one of them.
The famous clipper, ‘Samuel Plimsol‘ is preparing to make sail from Plymouth, Devon, England, outward bound for South Australia.
Many distinguished people and renowned companies have chosen Frickers paintings as you can discover by reading my illustrated résumée.
Frickers paintings have been exhibited at many venues in Britain and Europe including by invitation for a one man show in the European Parliament.
Emigration Plymouth, some background.
Emigration, Plymouth is meticulously researched and set in the year 1881.
One does not have to be an art critic to instinctively feel the artist has a poetic and complete understanding of the nucleus of the moment.
How very many famous voyages began there, how many lives were reborn at the time when Plymouth had the best organised emigration depot in Britain?
‘Emigration Plymouth’ and the painting’s story tells us an inspirational history relevant to our world today .
See Further reading about Plymouth, Emigration for this story and more (to better understand this painting).
The citizens of Plymouth
There is a long and honourable history of assisting migrants on passage so during the 1840’s the depot buildings were developed into by far the best migrant depot in the kingdom.
This in turn lead me to decide to reconstruct the old depot much as it would have looked in it’s heydays.
