Glasgow Green

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1899

To the left an open space with trees, part of the ancient public park on which the Young Pretender encamped during the " Forty-Five." There are buildings near the trees, and on the bank of the Clyde is the boat-hiring establishment known as Geordie Geddes'. The view is taken from a small bridge over the Clyde above Glasgow, looking westward towards the city. The old jail and church towers of Glasgow were veiled in smoke and haze when the drawing was made. The apparent width of the Clyde is exaggerated, owing to the omission of the opposite bank.
