Lobster Pots, St. Andrews, N.B. | John A. Hammond | Oil On Canvas

"Lobster Pots, St. Andrews N.B." by John A. Hammond portrays a quiet coastal scene in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, with lobster pots stacked along the shoreline, ready for the day's catch. The lobster industry has been a crucial part of the Canadian economy and culture, especially in the Maritime provinces, making Hammond's painting a tribute to this enduring aspect of Canada's heritage.

Hammond, born in 1843 in Montreal, became a celebrated painter and lithographer, particularly known for his maritime subjects. His work reflects the daily life and natural beauty of Canada's eastern coast.
