"Yarmouth, Norfolk" is an 1832 engraving by English artist David Lucas. Depicting a seaside town in England, the piece captures the bustling energy of the harbor with a pier extending into the water. Lucas's meticulous attention to detail is apparent in the depiction of ships, a horse-drawn cart, and figures along the shoreline. This print, part of a series of landscapes, offers a glimpse into the life and scenery of 19th-century England. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this work, which showcases Lucas's skill in capturing the atmospheric qualities of his subjects.
