High on the golden and russet headland of Ecclesbourne Cliff, a shepherd stands watch over his scattered flock as the dramatic sandstone face plunges to the grey Channel shore far below — one of the wildest and most painterly stretches of the Sussex coast captured in rich watercolour by W. H. Borrow. Two distant sailing vessels punctuate the pale horizon, and nestled at the cliff foot, a pair of humble coastguard cottages speak to the lonely life lived at the edge of England. Borrow's handling of the vertiginous cliff face — layers of ochre, rust and cream — anticipates the bolder palette of later Edwardian landscape painters, and the card's panoramic composition uses the full width of the picture space to thrilling effect. Published by the B. & W. Series of Hastings and dating from the very earliest years of the picture-postcard boom, this unused card is a fine companion piece to the Pevensey Castle example by the same artist, and equally appealing to collectors of Sussex coastal views and Edwardian watercolour reproductions.
