Etching and drypoint on cream laid paper, 1859. 138x212 mm; 5 1/2x8 3/8 inches, wide margins. Fourth state (of 4). A superb, richly-inked impression with selective wiping and strong contrasts.
The warehouses that stretch into the distance in this view appeared in the first state; they were then removed and drawn again by Whistler in the second state. Like Black Lion Wharf, this is a view of the Thames where ocean-going ships docked and the warehouses that served them. Kennedy 43.
