North Shore, Robin Hood's Bay
(Postcard, 1905, 9 x 14 cm)
Cat no 1905/1
Note: The quintessential all-in-one postcard view of Robin Hood's Bay,
showing colourful cliff-top houses, boats, the sea and a rugged
promontory.
North shore, Robin Hood's Bay
(Etching, 10 x 12.5 cm)
Cat no 171
Notes: A unique signed print of Ulric's only known etching. (The copper plate
survives.) The scene, clearly copied from the 1905 postcard, is presumably
what Ulric considered to be his most marketable material. An etching sold
for 5s, compared with 1d for a postcard and upwards of half a guinea for a
small watercolour. The pencilled signature, never used on paintings, is in
Ulric's normal handwriting. Courtesy of the Robin Hood's Bay Museum Trust.
North Shore, Robin Hood's Bay
(Watercolour, 18 x 27 cm)
Cat no 121
Note: Painted a decade or more later than the 1905 postcard and, in this
instance, definitely copied from the postcard itself.
North coast, Robin Hood's Bay
(Watercolour, 17 x 26 cm)
Cat no 066
Notes: A similar view to that above and from the same period. The
difference in colours is striking and illustrates one of the main
attractions for the artist in painting Robin Hood's Bay.

Robin Hood's Bay
(Oil on hardboard, 21 x 28 cm)
Cat no 165
Notes: This and the watercolour above probably date from about the same
time. They provide a good illustration of the differing results from the
two media.
South coast, Robin Hood's Bay
(Postcard, 1909, 9 x 14 cm)
Cat no 1909/1
Note: One of only two known postcards published by Jenkinson and,
arguably, one of the best with bright colours, skillful use of contrast
and all the right subject ingredients.
