About the Item
This early 20th-century watercolour by British artist Henry M Terry (1854-c.1920) depicts an elderly fisherman.
Terry’s body of work is brimming with characters: dapper old gentlemen brush top hats on Sunday mornings, doting grandfathers look lovingly towards their kin, and melodic families gather for impromptu music recitals. It’s a veritable Dickensian novel.
And here, in this piece from around 1900, we see a wily old fisherman puffing away on a pipe as he considers his next story. Referred to as ‘old salts’, these sea-worn elderly mariners were famed for their tales of the ocean. It’s said that each generation passed their stories on to the next, and perhaps added their own flourishes after each telling. The term ‘old salt’ relates to the salinity of the sea and was first recorded in around 1830.
