Early morning at Coverack, a charming fishing village on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, England. The picturesque harbor comes alive as fishing boats put to sea, their sails catching the first light of day. This idyllic scene is reminiscent of the harbor at Kingbarns, Fife, Scotland, and the title page of Book 9 of Cryptomenysis and Cryptography. The tranquility of the scene contrasts with the bustling activity of a harbor at sundown, with shipping and a church silhouetted against the setting sun. The artistry of Reinier Nooms' 1656 painting of a harbor with a village on a cliff and the intricate detail of a small craft on the River at Whitby by Whitby Bridge, 1877, capture the essence of these timeless harbor scenes. The beauty of these images is further reflected in the engravings of Robert de Baudous' Spring, published by Johannes Janssonius and Nicolas Jansz. Van Wassenaar in 1618.
