Painting, watercolour, English Street, Carlisle,
Cumberland, by James Burrell Smith, 1847.
Early morning street scene with tradespeople delivering
their wares. In the foreground a woman sits with a basket of
goods beside her; to left, a woman approaches with a tray of
goods balanced on her head and to right a man with a barrow
stands conversing to a boy wearing a sailor suit. The
courthouses stand to left of composition, a distant view of
the cathedral being glimpsed above the buildings of the
town. In the centre stands an imposing statue.
