A4921/121

Watercolour sketch; small quite crude amateur sketch showing a very distant view of Rochester castle & cathedral tower (pre-1904), both shrouded with trees - indeed the whole view seems rather artificially wooded & rural; the Medway in the middle ground. In an album of 210 sketches. Artist known as 'C' (or possibly 'C.F.N.), a Cliffe resident. Sketches were painted between 1864-1911; 1860's/70's of some Surrey/London locations, 1880's/90's Medway & Hoo peninsula; added later pencil comments by artist.
