Sutton Harbour Print Appraisal

Framed Print of Sutton Harbour and The Plymouth Breweries Ltd.

This is a rectangular framed landscape print depicting a historical maritime scene of Sutton Harbour in Plymouth, England. The central focus is the tall, multi-story white building labeled 'THE PLYMOUTH BREWERIES LIMITED' topped with a bell tower and the British Union Jack flag. To the left, a stone arched bridge (Sutton Bridge) spans the water, with figures and a horse-drawn carriage visible. The foreground features several rowing boats and a larger motorized or steam-powered launch carrying passengers through the harbor water. The art style is illustrative with a soft color palette of light blues, ochres, and earthy browns, suggesting a late 19th or early 20th-century setting. The piece is housed in a simple, dark redwood-finished wooden frame with a beveled profile. The condition shows visible rippling or 'cockling' of the paper behind the glass, indicating exposure to humidity. There are minor scuffs and age-related wear on the frame's edges, particularly at the corners. The print appears to be a mid-20th-century reproduction based on its coloring and mounting style. No artist signature is clearly visible in the provided image, but the level of detail indicates a commercial or souvenir-grade production rather than fine art.
