Frank Meadow Sutcliffe

In the 1890s, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe documented the village of Whitby as both fishing village and a holiday resort over a long period of time.  His work drew on the picturesque qualities of much of the labour involved, but also added new qualities of directness and close observation (Wells, 2004:80).
