Hundred Years Ago, Carlisle, Cumberland, by Matthew Ellis
Nutter, 1835.
The walled city of Carlisle viewed from an elevated perspective with the River Eden flowing horizontally across composition. Eden Bridge stands to left of composition; cattle are gathered on the meadows to either side of the river and a lone fisherman stands at the water's edge in centre foreground. Distant hills rise beyond the city. |
