Print, soft ground etching, Windermere lake, Windermere,
Westmorland, by William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, 1808.
Plate 6 in Sixty Studies from Nature, 1810.

No. 6.
WINDERMERE.
...
This print of Windermere is from a field near the turnpike
gate at Waterhead, and is looking into Langdale - Bow fell
and Langdale pikes are the principal features in the
distance, but a part of Loughrigg fell is on the right - the
houses at Brathay and Clappersgate assist in composing the
middle ground. - The trees on the left were taken from the
hedge-row on the right hand, with a view to benefit the
composition - for though the distances on Windermere are
exquisite, as seen in nature; yet, by their remoteness from
the eye, and the consequent monotony of the lines composing
those distances, they generally require the aid of other
objects with a view to destroy that monotony, and otherwise
improve the intended picture.
