These delicate watercolours show the English seaside town of Margate in the early 1800s. Thomas Grieve painted its beach huts, church steeple, and castle gatehouse with quick, quiet brushstrokes. Look for the hut at Margate or the pavilion beside the river—both capture the quiet charm of before the railways arrived. Tap to see how Grieve framed Margate’s low horizon and dotted skyline.
