About the Item

Antique British Steamship Etching This moody etching by Joseph Kirkpatrick (British, b. 1874 d. 1936) features a steamboat in the midst of choppy water with a dramatic cloudy sky behind it. The smoke from the stacks on the ship billows into the sky and blends in with the clouds. The sun shines through a break in the clouds, casting faint rays above the steamboat. A single airplane flies overhead. Signed "Joseph Kirkpatrick" in pencil bottom right corner Top of piece reads "Published March 1st 1915 by J.F.E Grundy, 4 & 5 Adam Street, Strand, London, W.C." Joseph Kirkpatrick (b. 1874, Liverpool) was a British artist known for his detailed and idyllic watercolors of British countryside scenes. He studied at the Liverpool School of Art under John Finnie and later at the Academie Julian in Paris under William-Adolphe Bouguereau. After this he returned in England, where he began exhibiting with the Royal Academy in London in 1898. He died in England in 1936.

Late 19th Century Boats at San Francisco Port Seascape Drawing
By Raymond Dabb Yelland
Located in Soquel, CA
San Francisco moorings, a late 19th century double-sided pencil sketch by Raymond Dabb Yelland (American, 1848 - 1900), 1987. Signed "R.D. Yelland" lower right. Dated "87" lower left. Drawing on both sides of paper. Wood frame. Image size, 8.5"H x 12"L. A master marine painter, Yelland painted in Gloucester Harbor. He sailed to San Francisco in 1874 to take a teaching position in art at Mills College in Oakland. From 1877 to 1894, he taught at the California School of Design. He was a decisive influence on a younger generation of California artists. Full Bio: Raymond Dabb Yelland was born in London, England on February 2, 1848. At the age of three, he immigrated with his family to New York City where he was raised and attended public schools. By the age of twelve, he had settled on art as a career. He was born as Raymond Dabb, but due to the negative connotation of his name, his mother's maiden name, Yelland, was added. After serving under Sheridan in the Federal Army during the Civil War, Yelland attended Pennington Seminary in New Jersey. He studied art at the National Academy of Design from 1869 to 1871 with Page and Brevoort, and then taught at the Academy for one year. With his new bride, he sailed around the Horn in 1874 to San Francisco where he would assume the position of an art instructor at Mills College in Oakland. In 1877, he traveled to England, and later continued his studies in Paris with Luc Oliver Merson. Upon his return to California, Yelland became assistant director of the San Francisco School of Design, and in 1888, assumed its directorship. While at that school, he also taught at the University of California, Berkeley, for many years. His many pupils included Homer Davenport, Alexander Harrison...
