John Stobart, Richmond: A View of the City from the Banks of the James River in 1858.
Arriving at the brink of a high hill overlooking the shipping, I suddenly stopped in amazement. I had never seen such a wide-spread sheet of water as the James River presented at that point. It was a sprinkling and windy day, and the water was considerably ruffled. Here I felt my faith giving way; but then I thought, if you falter at this, what will you do in the swellings of the ocean?
— Alfred M. Lorrain sets out to be a sailor in the early 19th century, from his autobiography.

John Stobart when i was young and the water was still my buddy Rodrick and i would run in that field there and then we were twelve and just learned about girls and he wanted to show off for them and he asked me what it was like to kiss someone and i said buddy i reckon i knew as much as you do and we didnt say anything else and we sat next to the pond we always played in and i leaned in like it could mean something and he didnt stop me and i said i think the girls will love you and he said i dont know if i want them too so i leaned in again and that was it

Charleston: Prioleau Street in 1870, by John Stobart (1929-2023)
This view of Prioleau Street shows a glimpse of Charleston’s waterfront in its heyday as a commercial port. The bark ‘INDIGO’ rests at her berth awaiting a cargo, advertising her destination by the traditional banner hung from the fore mainyard.
