As it is the last of the series, the producer had, perhaps, in mind a period of repose; but it is a fisherman who is enjoying, in the picture, an hour of cessation from toil. His boat is on the shore, and he stands beside it, watching his children float a model barque on an improvised sea. Their cottage is on the extreme right, and his tackle is on the beach. Makes a good companion to No. 106. <\/p>\n
