Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a riverside scene with a building bearing the signage "DAILY TELEGRAPH", along with signs such as "LAWES SMITH & SON" and "NESTLE'S FOOD STARCH". Viewed from across the water, the scene includes small boats along the water's edge. Buildings in the background suggest a vertical composition. The etching technique is notable in the fine lines and hatching for depth and texture. The color palette is sepia and brown, creating an antique look. The scene lacks human figures, with activity implied through the boats and architecture.
