THE SILVER FORTH.
391/2x49 inches. John Waddington, London.
Condition B+: restoration and overpainting along vertical fold; horizontal and vertical 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 of the river surface at certain times of day.
