Rocky Channel Island shores, harbours and tulip gardens fill these prints by Henry Bowser Wimbush, the landscape painter and illustrator, born in London in 1858 and remembered for his watercolours and illustrated postcards. He supplied travel pictures to publishers including A. & C. Black and Raphael Tuck, and these prints, dating from 1904–1906, concentrate on Guernsey, Jersey, Sark and the neighbouring islands, with one North Devon subject. Village streets, farmyards, flower sellers, bathing places and coastal paths accompany such recognisable settings as Moulin Huet, St Brelade and Mont Orgueil, while Alderney's rocks and the Casquets lighthouse keep the sea in view and the flower fields bring colour to the cliffs and coves.
