NORMAN WILKINSON THE SILVER FORTH.
40x49 inches. John Waddington, London.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears and creases in margins; vertical and horizontal folds.
A beautiful landscape view of the Forth River. Visible in the distance is the impressive cantilever-type "Forth Bridge," which opened in 1890. The River Forth originates at Ben Lomond and flows west-to-east to the Firth of Forth. The name "silver" is taken from the way the light reflects off the river at certain times of day.
