Item details

Here's a rendition of the first two verses of a ballad that appeared in the 17th century. Although created with historic methods of woodcut and letterpress, it's been produced in a larger size so that it can be enjoyed as wall art. The size is 33 cm length, 26.5 cm wide. It's printed on a heavyweight paper with a speckle effect. Supplied unmounted. Please note that one corner has slightly bent but this does not detract from the finished product because of its rustic nature. Signed and numbered by the artist (me)

The historical references hinted at are of the Dutch Wars of the 1660s and 1670s when England battled the Netherlands for control of the sea. There was a famous incident in Chatham at that time, which Kentish people will know. In fact these prints were produced at Upnor Castle, across the Medway from Chatham, to celebrate the anniversary of that event in 1667. The tune is known, so this would make a lovely gift for people who enjoy folk music, history, or have a Kentish connection.
