The Broads are a network of lakes and rivers in Norfolk and Suffolk counties and constitute 117 square miles of land. The Broads and surrounding areas are under a significant amount of protection close to that of the national parks and are operated by the Broads Authority. Seven rivers and sixty-three broads comprise the region, and offer a large breadth of wildlife and rare insects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece was illustrated by Southgate, Frank.

Southgate studied in Cambridge as well as at the Slade School of Art in London. He was elected as a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and exhibited at the Royal Academy on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, Southgate died of heart failure in 1916 during World War I after running two miles with a message to the front-line. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXGCA5C06 zz10000\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7647656116284,"sku":"141238_XGCA5_039","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/XGCA5_039.jpg?v=1571713965","url":"https:\/\/www.periodpaper.com\/products\/1906-print-frank-southgate-fishing-st-benets-boat-river-marsh-wetland-stream-art-141238-xgca5-039","provider":"Period Paper Historic Art LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
