Edward Bonney Nevinson

Edward Bonney Nevinson painted quiet, everyday scenes in watercolour during the late 1800s. He captured railways and quaysides with delicate strokes, like the 1883 "A reminiscence of a sky from the railway" and the 1872 "Quayside scene." His works show the textures of city life from a century ago, with no dramatic flourishes. See if you can spot the steam and salt in those skies, or tap "Street scene with firemen" to step into a late-19th-century street.
