Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads

Peter Henry Emerson and T.F. Goodall

National Gallery of Art

This muted, celestial blue, wide book cover has gold text and a drawn illustration of marshlands and sailboats. The text is oriented at an angle between the lower left and upper right corners. It reads, “Life and Landscape on the NORFOLK BROADS BY P.H. EMERSON and T.F. GOODALL.” In dark brown, cattails rise along the left edge, near the book’s tan-colored spine, and two boats sail away from us toward a harbor town to the right. The spine and cover are worn and scuffed, and there are a few stains.
