The old Justiciary Court House, Glasgow

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1911

In the foreground flows the Clyde, chiefly in shadow. It is crossed on the left by a bridge, of which only half of one span is visible. Above it rises a tall church tower and other buildings. Across the river stands the old Court-House, its stone facade in strong sunlight; beyond the deeply shaded end a row of houses extends to the right edge of the plate. The work carried much further both in dry point and etching, the river being now shaded with etched lines up to the right end of the plate. In addition to two boats near the bottom of the plate towards the left, part of a third is now seen, in which are a seated and a standing man; a plank is thrown across from this to the larger boat. In place of a rudimentary wooden structure on the roof, just to right of the flag-staff, a tall square framework has been etched, with a man kneeling on the roof beside it. Numerous other alterations.
