Rotherhithe.

Etching and drypoint on warm, cream laid Japan paper, 1860. 275x195 mm; 10 7/8x7 3/4 inches, 1/2-inch (full ?) margins. MacDonald's sixth state (of 6), with the drypoint lines across the chest and pipe of the man smoking at left. A brilliant, richly-inked impression of this important etching, with abundant velvety burr, the multitude of delicate lines in the sky distinct and with strong contrasts. Kennedy 66; Glasgow 70.
