About this Work

Men lean over the side of a boat, hauling a sea turtle up from the water. One in a straw hat and teal shirt does the heavy work, gripping the shell while the others crowd in close, watching or lending a hand. Below, the water carries their reflection back at them, rippled and half-formed.

Another plate from Stirnweis's Getting to Know the British West Indies, the same two-color lithograph style throughout the series, teal against charcoal line. This one leans into the physical effort of the scene, the strain in the shoulders, the concentration on the faces, a small piece of everyday work turned into something worth pausing on.
