After Icebergs With A Painter; A Summer Voyage To Labrador And Around Newfoundland.

By Louis Legrand Noble

Book Overview

A vivid voyage and a window into a vanished world, After Icebergs With A Painter invites you to sail the North Atlantic with Louis Legrand Noble as your guide. This is more than a travelogue; it is a gentle, lucid communion with coastlines that shimmer with ice, fog, and fearless curiosity. The book blends a painter's eye with a traveller's logbook, offering a concise, richly observed account of Labrador's rugged shores and Newfoundland's storied coastline. Its themes-curiosity, endurance, and the quiet drama of distant places-still resonate, inviting both casual readers and classic-literature collectors to linger on seascapes, weather, and the mind's mapping of the unknown. In tone and texture, it sits squarely in Victorian-era travel, yet speaks with fresh clarity to today's explorers and students in search of antique voyage literature and illustrated travelogue editions. Literary and historical significance accrue with every restored page: the approach to the North Atlantic, the social textures of its travellers, and the craft of a mid-nineteenth-century observer brought forward for contemporary readers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's and future generations. A refined addition to any classroom reading list or bookshelf, it invites reverent, curious, and newly minded journeys along the Labrador coast and beyond.
