Design for a letter of thanks for the loan of works of art to the Glasgow International Exhibition

1 pp 1901

A lake overhung with trees and covered with water-lilies. High on the plate towards the right the towers of the Kelvingrove Art Galleries rise from the trees. To the left a space, measuring 170 x 77 mm., is reserved for the text to be inserted. Both this space and the whole plate are surrounded by a narrow ornamental border. This was an unsuccessful competitive design. At least three proofs exist printed in brown, one of which (B., the specimen actually submitted by the artist) has the proposed lettering written in the blank space ; the lilies in front are white, and other parts of the plate are retouched with neutral tint.

Distant Fermo - No. 1

1 pp 1911

In the foreground a river bed, half empty, spanned by a wooden bridge with trees at either end. In the distance the town of Fermo on its hill, crowned by a church. The shaded slope Is once more lightened. There is now a further line of distant hills, rising a little over 2 mm. above the covered cart, and appearing towards the right between the trees at several points especially in the wide gap between the two last trees. There is still a white patch between the tower on the left and the trees to left of it.

Distant Fermo - No. 2

1 pp 1914

A repetition, with variations, of Dodgson number 277. A bridge with a wooden parapet spans the almost dry bed of a river. At the left end of the bridge are tall poplars, two of which are isolated; at the right end are smaller trees. The town of Fermo, very lightly sketched, crowns the summit of a distant hill beyond the bridge. The pool of water in the middle of the dry bed of the stream, which had hitherto stopped near the man loading a mule, is now continued to the left so far as to lie under the first mule beyond the middle pier of the bridge. The distant town and the trees beneath it have been again re-touched.

The town of Fermo, very lightly sketched, crowns the summit of a distant hill beyond the bridge. In outline; light and unfinished. The piers support the bridge are white, except the farthest to the right, on which there is some vertical shading.

At the right end two half-length portraits of another man (Christopher Morley) : the first nearly full face, but a little to left, in light clothes; the second three-quarter face to right, in striped clothes.

Duke of Gordon's house, Leith

1 pp 1898

A quay bordered by an irregular row of houses, one of which, though partly ruinous, is of some architectural pretension ; the adjoining white house is entitled Provan's Lodgings. In the foreground, water with a boat. Touched with dry point. The houses at either end and figures along the quay more defined ; more smoke from the chimneys, and additional shading on sky and water.

On the left Is a road, bounded on the farther side by a high wall overhung with trees, on the near side by a low wall, beneath which is a field divided by a bank from the river. At the end of the field is a cottage fenced In with railings; between the cottage and the road are bushes. A woman walks along the road. In the distance, on the crest of a wooded hill, rises the town from which the print derives its name. The outline of the woman's shawl on the left has been completed. The upper outline of the bank between the field and the water has been retouched; a little hillock, 40 mm from the right end of the plate, has a double outline, forming a loop.
