Oxfordshire

1 pp 1906

A scene on the river in an unfashionable part of the outskirts of Oxford. On the left are trees, then low houses and plots of ground divided by palings which extend to the water's edge. On the right is a punt, cut by the edge of the plate ; beyond the mast of this punt is a man standing on the bank, then an angler, then a man in charge of a horse. The tree at the height indicated is now only 2 in. wide, portions of the foliage from this point upwards having been burnished out. Still before the punt and distant trees on the right.

Burr on tackle reduced. The horizon line is bare of trees for a tiny space (2 mm.) 5 to 7 mm. to left of the horse's forefoot.

A faint but distinct line slants from the top of the mast to the right side of the plate. There is burr on the tackle at the top of the mast, most strongly marked in the second impression.

Picadilly Circus, 1915

1 pp 1915

A view of Piccadilly Circus as seen by night from the Quadrant, with the County Fire office on the left, the Pavilion near the middle, and the Criterion to the right, beyond Mr. Alfred Gilbert's fountain. The Circus is full of traffic, among the most conspicuous objects being a motor car stationed near the kerb on the left, and a mounted soldier advancing towards Regent Street on the right. The sky is very dark, but is crossed by the rays of searchlights while a strong light is thrown downwards from the electric street lamps, which have their tops obscured in accordance with the special war regulations which prevailed during the winter of 1914-15. The composition is complete and the work is approximately finished, but the general effect is much lighter than in the published states, and the rays from the searchlights cross the whole width of the sky instead of only partially penetrating its gloom.

The lower line of the frame has been completed, and is crossed by several short vertical lines both to left and right of the hat. The right shoulder of the chauffeur has been re-touched.

Ponte Vecchio, Florence

1 pp 1912

The bridge itself, of which one span is seen, is left very unfinished. Beyond it, on the left, are two arches of a colonnade overlooking the Arno. Several towers of unequal height rise above the roofs of the houses near the end of the bridge, and a dark range of mountains appears in the distance.

Porch of the Pantheon, Rome

1 pp 1915

Light falls from the right upon the lower portion of massive columns, round and rectangular, between which a group of priests move on towards the entrance of the church. Two women stand in shadow on the left, close to the actual door. Heavily re-worked with dry point, the shadows much darker. All the figures re-touched. Between the big column (left) and the doorway are stray oblique lines slanting from right to left; across the big column on the right strong lines slant from left to right. The lines on the pavement are re-touched

Porthcothan, Cornwall

1 pp 1919

A small bay with rocky shore; where the cliff on the left has broken down a square-soaped rock rises near the water's edge. Through the gap between the rock and the cliff is seen a more distinct rocky mass, and beyond that again a headland, projecting far out to sea, with detached rock beyond its end.
