Since the 12th century, people in China have used folding screens and doors to partition and decorate their homes - the vivid scenes backing the screens added life and color to a room. This 19th-century painting is delicately brushed of gouache and ink on fabric and was originally part of a set of eight backing a wooden screen in northern China. The figure depicted is one of the mythical Eight Immortals of Taoism. Said to have attained immortality through their studies of the natural world, each of the Eight Immortals represents a different condition in life and together they impart a blessing of prosperity and longevity.

This dramatic watercolour shows only the bow and the stern of Amelia as she is perilously close to being dashed against the sea wall with a wave completely swamping her amidships. Some of her crew have been washed out of the boat and would-be rescuers are wading along the promenade towards her bow. To her right, the schooner Coupland is rolling dangerously in huge waves. Scarborough Spa and crowds of onlookers are clearly visible through the storm. Signed J.N.Carter, 1865, Torquay. English, painted in 1865. The attempted rescue of the schooner Coupland by the lifeboat Amelia on November 2nd 1861 is one of the most memorable and tragic in Scarborough lifeboat history. The 32 ft. long, ten-oared, self-righting Amelia, on her maiden voyage, went to the rescue of the Coupland crew, with disastrous results. She was dashed to pieces against the harbour wall and two of the crew were lost, while others had to swim or be pulled ashore by rescuers wielding ropes. Three of the shore based rescuers, Lord Charles Beauclerk, William Tindall and John Hiles, also lost their lives. Eight Board of Trade Medals for Gallantry in Saving Life at Sea were awarded along with six RNLI medals and monetary grants. Joseph Newington Carter (1835-1871) was influenced by W. M. Turner and is known predominantly for his dramatic and compelling seascapes in oil and watercolour. His father, Henry Barlow Carter...
