Lobster fishing was and is an important industry in the seaside town of Marblehead, MA. In the left foreground of this print sits a boat surrounded by lobster traps. Chamberlain settled in Marblehead in 1934 and frequently portrayed picturesque scenes of old New England. He had studied in London with etcher Malcolm Osbourne, whose Bird of Bourges is in this exhibition.
