The painting entitled Priory and Castle, Tynemouth is by John Wilson Carmichael who specialised in ship and coastal subjects. This view shows bathers in the sea and bathing machines at Tynemouth. Sea bathing was only just starting to be popular at this date. Bathing machines were sometimes towed by horses into the water so women didn't have to walk across the sand in their bathing costumes. On the cliff are the ruins of Tynemouth Castle and Priory, which date from the 14th century. Buy this as a framed art print, canvas art print or art poster.
