Exhibitions
Hull, UK (Autumn), 1910
Cull was best known for his pictures of British warships, and painted several for Edward VII. Much travelled with the Navy, he performed 'almost every job on a warship, including stoking, so that I may thoroughly know my subject" (Daily Mirror, 14 Nov 1911, p 5).
This more peaceful picture would have been painted near his home in Lee-on-Solent.
