Painting, watercolour, Carlisle from Rickerby Park in the
Year of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, Carlisle, Cumberland,
by Thomas Bushby, 1897.
Autumn; view of Carlisle from an elevated perspective on Greeny Banks beside Eden Bridge which crosses the composition diagonally. Sheep and cattle graze in the foreground beside a small area of land which is fenced off, with clothes hanging out to dry. The city stands beyond the far bank of the river, with the Cout Houses visible to left of composition, the cathedral in the centre and Dixon's chimney and the castle to right. Distant hills rise beyond. |
