Show detail Hide detail

Image depicting a sidewheeler steamship entering rapids on the Richelieu. The deck of the ship is full of colourfully dressed passengers., Item is glued onto a mount which is in poor condition. It seems to have had its matting torn away; the edges are full of glue, paper, card and other materials., A print with the same image as the watercolour was found sandwiched between the new mount and the older mount. It is a page taken from "Picturesque America". Sotheby's list comments that the "figures in the w.c. are much more naive; is the w.c. a copy, or did the engraver improve on the image?"
