\nFrom a painting by Creswick. This, although not a rare, is a very delightful print. Under a blue sky, typical of the height of summer, near a cooling stream, and by leafy trees, passengers amongst whom are a man with two goats, a horseman on a white steed, a woman with a basket on her head, and a dog are waiting for the ferry which is approaching. An old cottage probably the ferryman’s nestling under the trees, is on the left. This is one of the cheapest of the ovals; but it is too excellent to long remain so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
