Print, soft ground etching, Stock Gill Force, Ambleside, Westmorland, by William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, 1810.
Plate 15 in Sixty Studies from Nature, 1810.
No. 15.
STOCK GILL FORCE.
The beauties of this admired water-fall are in a great degree lost to the generality of visitors, because they only see it from the foot-path, skirting the top of a bank which rises to a great height, and almost perpendicularly from the bottom of the channel; and the spectator looks down upon the scene, rather than upwards or horizontally; his view of the water is likewise considerably impeded by wood, of which there is a redundancy.
...
The scene which has been engraved for this work, is made on the margin of the stream, immediately under the usual stand; but from several other points the materials will be found to combine with an equal, if not superior interest, should parts be preferred to a general view.
