Flood on Chiswick Mall

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1908

Between the road and pavement, towards the left, are two trees, one behind the other. Near them is the sign of an Inn. Beneath this sign are two carts, standing deep in water which has overflowed the road. A sailing barge lies athwart the road, and the mast of a second barge rises beyond a ledge which separates the flooded Mall tail from the Thames. The subject, without a borderline, occupies the upper portion of this space. The trunks of the two trees are unfinished and end abruptly 1/2 in. beneath the top of the plate.
