An Eye for the Coast : The Maritime and Monhegan Island Photographs of Eric Hudson
Source: Amazon.com
Author: Eric Hudson, W. H. Bunting, and Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr.
- "Unless you reach for the Dramamine at the first mention of salt water, the maritime photographs of Elmer Forest ("Eric") Hudson (1862-1932) will hit you like an onshore breeze on a summer shore. ... The prints are all velvety grays and blacks of a kind impossible to coax from thirty-five millimeter film, and the extensive captions comprise histories of Monhegan, the nineteenth-century seaborne trade in fish, salt, ice, lumber, and molasses, and finally, the great diversity of wooden boats involved." --Antiques magazine (1998)
