Osset, Yorks

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1905

A small town dominated by a modern Gothic church with a lofty spire, which stands nearly in the middle of the plate. Towards the left a smaller and older church. The figures entirely removed from the triangular patch, which is now evenly shaded and crossed at the top by a group of long even lines between two bands of white, as in the finished state. The meadow in the foreground still lacks the final shading. The height of the Ossett subject itself is 97 mm. ; it is bounded by two lines ruled across the bottom. On the lower part of the plate is an unfinished subject : one span of the Old Bridge at Ayr (Dodgson number 187), with houses above it (limits of work, 83x88). This subject remained unaltered during the progress of the work on Ossett.
