The painting is by W H Y Titcomb and is called The Sunday School Treat. It shows children defying all the health and safety rules as they embark from a Cornish harbour. This image is from the back cover of David Tovey's biography, available from Amazon. Another of Titcomb's better known paintings is The Primitive Methodists at Prayer, (below) another of those closely observed historical snapshots of another era, another culture, now gone.

Thought you might remember it Lynn. Too good not to post again. I’m on the lookout for a print to put up in College, illustrating a new approach to Work Based learning :))
