The Arethuse before 1893

This photograph, “The Arethuse”, by A.L. (fotograaf) Simpson, depicts a ship docked in a harbor. The ship is seen from the side, with its masts and sails visible. The image is likely a reproduction, as it was taken before 1893 and published within a book. This photograph, along with others like it, helped document the ships of the time. The photographic style, known as "photographic realism", captures the ship in sharp detail, showcasing the artist's skill and the technology of the time.
