The same composition as Dodgson number 295 but reversed, the sea being now in the right, and topographically correct. Lines slanting from left to right added across the middle of the beach. The foreground is blank.

Shipbuilders, Whiteinch

1 pp 1899

On the right is the hull of a ship in course of construction, drawn directly from the front ; the sharp line of her bows cuts the transverse lines of the scaffolding. To the left and in the foreground a busy yard, full of workmen ; one stands to the left with arms akimbo, another wheels a barrow to the front. Much of the dry point work on the sky removed and partly replaced by fresh lines; little remains of the horizontal lines described; the smoke which issues from a narrow funnel, and drifts up towards the left, is more concentrated and defined, especially to the left of the tall post which divides it. The shed on the left is shaded up to the edge of the plate except a triangular patch at the top.

To the left and in the foreground a busy yard, full of workmen ; one stands to the left with arms akimbo, another wheels a barrow to the front. With much dry point work in the sky, especially horizontal lines extending nearly half-way across the plate from the left upper corner to a depth of 1 in. from the top of the plate. The shed on the extreme left, of which we see the interior in shadow, ends in a white strip 3/16 in. or 4 mm. in width.

Shipsmiths, Finnestoun

1 pp 1900

Interior of a long, low building. Down the left side a series of furnaces, at which eight smiths are at work. In the foreground on the left a man stoops to raise a chain from the ground with both hands. On the right two ladders are erected, one of which slants downwards to the right, the other to the left. In the foreground is an anvil. The chain continued to the left edge of the plate by the addition of three links. The original signature remains legible ; above it is a second signature.

Shrimp boats, Great Yarmouth

1 pp 1935

Sailing boats lie moored in a diagonal line along a quay bordered on the left by old gabled houses under which one man sits, and two, with a dog, stand. Between the sails the Town Hall is seen, in the middle distance of the plate, and on the right, across the water, is Jewson's wharf. The middle line of this work has been so far burnished out that the resemblance to the "S" is no longer evident. The lower outline of a distant barge under Jewson's wharf has been reduced, so as not to appear as a continuous line through the furled sail of the boat in front of it.

Sketch of Fiesole

1 pp 1911

A hill crowned with buildings and cypresses, girt by a wall; this Is the convent of San Francesco. On the slopes lines of cypresses connect the scattered houses. The effect is light and sunny. Before several of the rows of cypresses. The blank space on the left has been partly filled by trees, lightly sketched but unfinished.

Small King's Lynn

1 pp 1903

On either side a boat moored near the shore is cut by the edge of the plate. Near the boat on the left is a cart, and a little more to the right two boys of unequal height stand looking at the water. The distant shore is indistinct, but on the right we see part of the town of King's Lynn, including the two square towers of St. Margaret's Church.

Somerset House

1 pp 1905

Waterloo Bridge, of which three spans are seen, crosses the plate in the middle distance, and Somerset House lies, apparently, on the right bank of the Thames. We are looking to the East ; the subject has been drawn directly on the plate, and so appears reversed in the impressions. The bridge and buildings have been thoroughly reworked and the finish is now more uniform than in the trial proofs. In the shading of the trees, to the distance of about 3/4 in. under the last span of the bridge on the left, lines slanting from left to right are prominent. The spire restored, the stern of the barge put in again and lightly shaded with vertical lines. The man at the rudder is indistinctly drawn, as in the trial proofs. In the later impressions of this state the barge shows signs of wear.
