	Painting, oil painting, Carlisle from the North East, Cumberland, 1780s-90s? Panoramic view of Carlisle from across the River Eden with Eden Bridge and Carlisle Castle to right of composition. The cathedral rises above the city in centre of composition. Beyond lie hills with low lying cloud above them in a blue sky. In the foreground an angler stands on the riverbank and small groups of figures saunter along the pathway beside it. The composition is painted within an oval trompe l'oeuil frame against a buff background. Perhaps by James Lowes who was one of the illustrators of Hutchinson's History of Cumberland.
