Robert Farren (British, b.1832), Climming, Bempton Cliffs, Flamborough Head, signed lower right "R Farren 1891", oil on canvas, 54 x 35cm (21.06 x 13.65in). Provenance: From the collection of Sir William Farren. The present painting shows a "climmer" at work at Bempton Cliffs. "Climming" involved lowering men over the edge of the cliffs to collect eggs from nesting sea birds, and was used to supplement income. A dangerous practice with virtually no safety equipment, the climmer is wearing nothing but a cap stuffed with straw as some protection against falling rocks from above, and a Guernsey jumper. Three to four hundred eggs could be collected in a day. Guillemot eggs, which are large for the size of bird, were particularly sought after. Despite the danger, few accidents were recorded. The practice declined after the Second World War but continued until 1954 when it was finally made illegal
