Cromer by Wilfrid Ball, RBA, RE (1853-1917). Before 1917. Watercolour illustrated in Hind 153. The property of Mrs Pidgeon. Cromer is a resort on the Norfolk coast, in an area which had long been a popular place for water-colourists and landscape painters generally. After all, it was where John Crome (1768-1821), John Sell Cotman (1781-1842), Joseph Stannard (1797-1830), and several others associated with the Norwich School,had really established landscape painting as a genre. Ball was at home both with landscapes and seascapes, and his etchings of seascapes like this were as popular as his watercolours.
