UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW

Signed with a butterfly at upper left, on the lower storey of the rightmost building.

There are small patches of drypoint shading, most notably on the water behind the figures under the awning and between the edge of the quay and the prow of the boat at the landing. This shading is clearly visible on some impressions but is more commonly faint or worn away. The impression illustrated shows the shading printing clearly; it also has a prominent fox mark at lower left, which is not part of the image.

Published by Messrs Dowdeswell and Thibaudeau with the Twenty-six Etchings (the 'Second Venice Set') in 1886.

Cancelled with two short right to left diagonal lines (//) at lower right and one faint left to right diagonal (\) at lower centre.

The diagonal lines, which are the beginning of plate cancellation, were mistaken by Kennedy for a second state of the etching. 9

Further cancelled with a third faint right to left diagonal between the two earlier lines at lower left.

Additionally cancelled with a fourth right to left diagonal and a curving left to right diagonal at lower left as well as two right to left diagonals across the boat landing at lower right.

No image of this impression is available at present.

Three right to left diagonal cancellation lines are added across the buildings at upper centre, between the awning and boat landing at centre right and over the boats at the landing and the quayside next to them.

Completely cancelled with widely-spaced crossed diagonal lines.
