Boulogne at low tide, France

Callow went to Boulogne in 1837 on his way to Paris. He writes in his autobiography 'On returning to Paris in November, I and my brother went by boat from London to Boulogne....I was principally painting sea-pieces at the time; they were quite a novelty in Paris, and I received many orders for them...' (H.M. Cundall, ed., William Callow, R.W.S., F.R.G.S. an autobiography, London, 1908, p. 63).
