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 work is approximately finished, but the parapet of the bridge is white except for a short space above the last span on the right. In states B and C there were two rowing boats to the right of the barge and a little above it ; the upper boat has now been burnished out. There is a short mast on the barge.

South Coast No. 1

1 pp 1908

To the left, an inn, with a tree rising above it stands by a road raised above the snore, to which access is gained by a flight of steps, at the top of which a man is standing. Further along the road are a man on horseback, another standing, a horse and cart, and two men walking. Then a building with BOATS on a placard attached to it. On the beach a long sailing-boat lies stranded. At the top of the tree is a projecting tuft of foliage formed by two upright lines, with an oblique line across them. There are light vertical lines on the front of the lowest step, but none on the two steps above it. The first five divisions of the side of the wall to right of the steps are entirely white, except that the fourth and fifth have small dots near the top. The man to right of the house marked BOATS is in outline.

South Gate, King's Lynn

1 pp 1904

On the right a Gothic gateway in a tower. Outside the gate the road is carried by a bridge over a moat. On the bridge are three men on foot and one mounted, who rides fast towards the left. The front is waste ground with a bank sloping down to the moat. About an inch above the end of the bridge and just to the left of the flanking buttress of the gate is a small opening in the wall, which tells as a dark round patch. The sloping tops of two buttresses which flank a doorway near the level of the water are shaded only with horizontal lines.

South Gate, King's Lynn

On the right a Gothic gateway in a tower. Outside the gate the road is carried by a bridge over a moat. On the bridge are three men on foot and one mounted, who rides fast towards the left. The front is waste ground with a bank sloping down to the moat. Instead of the small, round opening, there is a lancet window, not very clearly defined. The tops of the buttresses are further shaded with vertical lines. The hat and back of the last of the figures crossing the bridge have been retouched.

Further along the road are a man on horseback, another standing, a horse and cart, and two men walking. Then a building with BOATS on a placard attached to it. On the beach a long sailing-boat lies stranded. Geese entirely effaced and lines behind geese are now removed. At the top of the tree is a projecting tuft of foliage formed by two upright lines, with an oblique line across them. There are light vertical lines on the front of the lowest step, but none on the two steps above it. The first five divisions of the side of the wall to right of the steps are entirely white, except that the fourth and fifth have small dots near the top.

Southampton, from Eling

1 pp 1903

A distant view of Southampton across the water, with a spire near the middle of the plate. Near the foreground are boats with masts, the second of which carries a small square flag, and on the right two thatched sheds. The sky has been retouched by the artist with a wash of ink.

Spring at Cardross

A long hill, partially wooded, extends along the back. The sky is windy and full of rain-clouds, very dark on the left side. The whole plate, but especially the foreground, remains extremely unfinished. The horse worked over and the whole foreground covered with long, straggling lines. Near the foot of the hill, towards the right, a man ploughing with two horses.

St. Cross, Winchester

1 pp 1903

On the right the Norman church and the end of the west wing of the adjoining Hospital of St. Cross (to restore topographical accuracy the print must be held to a mirror). On the left the trunk and lower branches of an elm, round which a number of the brethren sit or stand ; there are six persons to left of the trunk and four to the right, of whom one is very slightly sketched. There are other figures about the middle of the plate, near the church.
