Rotherhithe.

Etching and drypoint on tissue-thin laid Japan paper, 1860. 277x202 mm; 10 3/4x7 7/8 inches, full margins. Either an intermediate state between the second and third states (of 3) or the third state (of 3), with the hull of the boat in the center foreground incompletely shaded and with drypoint lines only along the upper contours of the hull. A brilliant, richly-inked impression, with all the delicate lines in the sky printing clearly, with burr throughout and with strong contrasts overall. Kennedy 66.
