	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 ...'
