Glasgow shops

1 pp 1899

A row of shops containing three bow-windows, over which are such inscriptions as (Wi)ndow Cleaner & Glazier... Earthenware, A. Black... Boot & Shoe Repairing. The middle shop is placarded with newspaper bills, Daily Record-Disaster at Sea, Daily Mail-Liberal Victory, &c. The time being Saturday afternoon, the street is enlivened by the presence of small children. Several of the figures retouched. The little girl close to the left edge of the plate has her head more defined, and a firmer outline is given to her frock, over her foot. Of the four children to left of the Daily Mail poster, the clothes of the first and the head of the fourth have been retouched. The man standing in the doorway beneath the words "Boot & Shoe" has been darkened all over. Some slight vertical shading beneath the letters " w Cle " is new in this state.

A group of tall warehouses and a clock tower lighted from the left; In front of them high palings shored up, and In front of these palings a low, dark wall extending to the left end of the plate, where a small chapel stands behind the wall; on the near side of It are two masts towards the left, and the end of another high building on the extreme right. In the foreground are men and carts near each end of the plate. This state of the plate is divided by vertical lines into four unequal spaces, of which the first is blank; the second contains sketches of a house, a bird, two figures, and some birds in the air, put in by the artist's son, Stephen; the third contains the subject described and the fourth a sketch of a man standing on a hillock watching the sunrise.

Godalming

1 pp 1903

In the foreground a pond with straight sides lined with willows which are reflected in the water. Near the angle at which the long and short sides meet is a punt, and a boat is moored about half-way across the short or right-hand side. The town of Godalming rises across the water. Two willows have replaced one tall tree toward the left of the plate. A poplar, a little to the right of these trees, is much more finished than before, and many of the roofs are more shaded. Part of the reflections in the water is burnished out.

The Clyde. On the south bank a row of houses, divided by the opening of a street. On the extreme left a high chimney is cut by the edge of the plate. In mid-stream are a raft, carrying one man, and a barge with some dredging machinery upon it. The tops of trees, growing on the north bank, are seen in the lower corners to left and right. Reflections in the water beneath the shore, the raft and the barge are indicated by vertical lines varying in length. Similar lines extend all across the lower part of the plate between the tree-tops. The smoke from a chimney on the left drifts to a length of1 1/2 in. along the top of the plate. The sky towards the right is full of lines.

On the left a quay with sailing boats moored along it; in the distance a bridge spanning the Yare; on the right, riverside warehouses and small boats with sails spread. A clear sky and ripples on the water. Drawn on the plate straight from nature, and so reversed. The mast surmounted by a flag near the middle of the plate has no tackle on either side, and appears to rise directly from the water. The farthest sail on the right is lightly shaded. Near the lower right corner a patch of water measuring about 30 x 90 mm is left entirely blank.

On the right is a path skirting the wall, overhung by trees and bounded by a rail ; near the largest tree a man walking. The ground falls away to the left, but rises again in the far distance. Towards the left a cart advances, drawn by two horses, with a man walking before them. The slope of the lower hill, to right of the trees and beneath the first of the two long lines is shaded with lines slanting from left to right. There is new work above the former outline of both hills, extending 20 mm. from the edge of the plate, and there is a new strong line marking the contour of the nearer slope immediately beneath the trees.
