"A Pair of Views Depicting Hallsands" is a set of artworks created by the British-Canadian artist Charles Jones Way (1834–1919), known for his watercolor landscapes and marine scenes. The pair of views in question captures the coastal village of Hallsands in Devon, England, before and after a devastating storm that led to the village's near destruction. Way's works serve as a poignant historical record, contrasting the once-thriving fishing community with its subsequent desolation.

Charles Jones Way, who was trained at the South Kensington School of Art in London, developed a reputation for his detailed and atmospheric landscapes. His works often exhibit a romantic sensibility, with a particular focus on the interplay of light and natural elements. "A Pair of Views Depicting Hallsands" exemplifies Way's skill in capturing the essence of a place and the mood of a particular moment in time.

The village of Hallsands itself became a symbol of the consequences of human intervention in natural processes. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, extensive dredging of sand and gravel from the seabed to facilitate the expansion of a nearby naval dockyard weakened the shoreline. This environmental disruption ultimately led to the village's collapse during a storm in 1917. Way's depictions of Hallsands before and after the disaster highlight the vulnerability of coastal communities and the dramatic impact of environmental change.

While the exact dates of creation for these works are not specified, they are significant for their historical and cultural value, offering insight into the environmental narrative of the time, as well as showcasing Way's artistic legacy. The pair of views, through their visual documentation, contribute to the understanding of the social and ecological history of Hallsands, making them valuable pieces of both artistic and historical record.
