Artist: JOHN MORTON BARBER Fellow, ASMA
Title: Chesapeake Bound (Making Sail Aboard the Schooner Man A Way- Urbanna, Virginia -Circa 1930)
Size: 14" x 26"
Edition: Artist Signed and Numbered to 950 / Remarques to 75
Medium: Fine Art Print on Paper (Printed with the highest quality materials.)
About the Art: During the early twentieth century the picturesque, waterfront town of Urbanna, Virginia bustled with vessels of many kinds such as the schooner Man A Way seen here making sail, bound for other ports on the Chesapeake Bay in the transport of produce and goods. Also, steamboats such as the Potomac, seen on the left pulling away from the Urbanna Steamboat Wharf with their whistles blaring and stacks belching smoke… their upper deck filled with excited passengers journeying to another town along the Chesapeake with livestock and freight of all sizes and shapes on the main deck below.

In addition to the subjects enumerated above, we see the old pickle factory just aft the main boom of Man A Way. Between her fore and jibsail can be seen the Burton House on the hill which boarded visitors and still stands on Watling Street. Directly behind the schooner's jib, with its smokestack, is the ice plant. To the right is J.W.Hurley's oyster house with the buyboat Muriel Eileen offloading her catch.

These are the halcyon days of early Urbanna which I have attempted to capture in "Chesapeake Bound". -John Barber
