DOVER
Friday 6 August 1993
Northwesterly 5, becoming variable 3. Fair. Good.
Signed, editioned and with a handwritten 'story' about the picture on verso.
In May 2013, Mark Power released five additional Shipping Forecast prints in limited editions of ten. They sold out within two hours. In the accompanying literature Power explained:
"I began 'The Shipping Forecast' in 1992, also 21 years ago. That time was important to me on two levels: the start of a teaching job I'm still enthusiastically doing, and the beginning of the project that has probably defined my career.
Recently I've been re-editing 'Forecast' because, with the benefit of hindsight, there are pictures I'd put into the book now that I didn't include in the original. I've chosen five of these and made an edition of ten of each, with the forecast for that place and date printed underneath. On the back of each print I've handwritten a little 'story' which explains something about when, where and occasionally how the picture was made."
