Oxfordshire

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1906

A scene on the river in an unfashionable part of the outskirts of Oxford. On the left are trees, then low houses and plots of ground divided by palings which extend to the water's edge. On the right is a punt, cut by the edge of the plate ; beyond the mast of this punt is a man standing on the bank, then an angler, then a man in charge of a horse. The tree at the height indicated is now only 2 in. wide, portions of the foliage from this point upwards having been burnished out. Still before the punt and distant trees on the right.
