A charming and highly detailed original signed etching entitled “Hastings” by Stephen Parrish executed in 1885. It is a fine dark impression with wide margins and is signed in pencil below the plate impression on the bottom right.
This is an interesting view as seen from boulders exposed at low tide looking up the beach to the fishing vessels and to the row of buildings lining the shore. Below the cliffs in the distance are the distinctive shapes of the tall black huts for the fishermen to hang their nets. The beach itself is a bustling hive of activity with lots of figures engaged in various activities, including a number around two mules or ponies and carts which are being loaded with the catch of the day from the nearest fishing boat .

Biography:
Stephen Parrish (July 9, 1846 – May 15, 1938) was a painter and an etcher from the United States. He is highly acclaimed, particularly in the United States where his original work can fetch thousands of dollars.
Parrish was engaged in mercantile pursuits until he was 30, when he applied himself to art, studying for a year with a local teacher. In 1878 he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia, and in 1879 at the National Academy in New York City. He soon turned his attention also to etching, and in December 1879, produced his first plate. After that he applied himself to both branches of art, exhibiting in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, London, Liverpool, Paris, Munich, Dresden and Vienna. He was a member of the New York Etching Club and the Society of Painter-Etchers of London. From 1884 to 1886, he traveled in Europe.
His etchings include Northern Moorland and Low Tide — Bay of Fundy (1882) Coast of New Brunswick, Winter Evening — Windsor, Nova Scotia, and Bethlehem (1884) London Bridge and On the Thames (1886) and A Gloucestar Wharf (1887). Among his paintings are November (1880) In Winter Quarters (1884) Low Tide — Evening (1885) On the Rance, Brittany (1886) and The Road to Perry's Peak. He also made etchings of several of his pictures.
