Painting, watercolour, Early Morning, Carlisle from the
Canal, Cumberland, by William Henry Nutter, about 1842?
Sunrise over a distant view of Carlisle with the canal basin
in the foreground. Boats are moored beside the right bank,
the masts of many more vessels being visible beyond the
biuldings and chimneys associated with the canal. To left,
three horses pass by, one being ridden and another being
led. Beyond the fields in the midground lies Carlisle with
its castle to left and cathedral in the centre.
The Carlisle Journal 18.1.1867 mentions a number of
watercolours by W H Nutter and in particular 'Carlisle from
the Canal, a large picture painted from a sketch of 1840,
when the scene depicted of a lighter being towed along the
canal, might be witnessed at early morning any day ...'
