The Clyde. On the south bank a row of houses, divided by the opening of a street. On the extreme left a high chimney is cut by the edge of the plate. In mid-stream are a raft, carrying one man, and a barge with some dredging machinery upon it. The tops of trees, growing on the north bank, are seen in the lower corners to left and right. Reflections in the water beneath the shore, the raft and the barge are indicated by vertical lines varying in length. Similar lines extend all across the lower part of the plate between the tree-tops. The smoke from a chimney on the left drifts to a length of1 1/2 in. along the top of the plate. The sky towards the right is full of lines.
