1883 after an original of 1862Re-printed in carbon from an original albumen print | 7.7 x 7.3 cm (image) | RCIN 2320192
Photograph of the river side at Greenwich with the River Thames on the right. A steam boat departs, carrying passengers. People either walk or sit on the side of the river, including two people in the foreground holding parasols. In the background can be seen a large sailing ship and numerous other ship masts in the distance. This photograph was reviewed in the Photographic News in March 1863.
This photograph is a later carbon copy which is a process that is less susceptible to light damage, unlike the original albumen photograph that was prone to fading over time.
