This is not a painting. One of my favorite historical photos of all time. The photograph was taken in 1911 by Francis James (FJ) Mortimer FRPS (1874-1944) a pioneer of pictorial photography. The sea his favorite subject, captured the shipwreck Arden Craig, a three-mast wheat ship that crashed into the rocks with nine feet of water after the captain became disorientated in heavy fog.

Tintype of a group of barefoot sailors at ease, c. 1870s

#I love images like this where there's such a jolting contrast between modern-looking elements and very period-specific elements #like center front guy's casual pose and t-shirt wouldn't be out of place on a modern man but then MASSIVE MUTTONCHOPS #and his buddy on the left—did this guy straight up rip the sleeves off his naval uniform?! punk's not dead... punk's not even born yet #19th century #19th century men #19th century fashion #sailors #men's fashion #fashion history #historical fashion #19th century photography #tintype #ferrotype #1800s #1870s

Found the perfect 1890s album page for my carte de visites of three Arctic veterans: John Hillary Allard, Leopold McClintock and George Strong Nares. They all went on search expeditions for the Franklin Expedition. Nares later led the British Arctic Expedition 1875.
