Tunny boat, Brittany
A woodcut featuring a Tunny boat with the town of Brittany in back. A crew of four men work on board the boat. Notations on the ship’s hull include ‘B2053’ and ‘MATHILDE.’ The image is centrally divided by a brick wall, separating the town from the water’s edge. A beached sailboat sits at the right, and an empty rowboat drifts in the foreground next to the Tunny boat.
