This print is of considerable interest as it bears detailed proofing notes from Palmer to the printers, suggesting adjustments and praising areas with which he was particularly pleased. Comments such as 'The Sky perfect - never let it be darker', 'remarque is too black' and 'Pray don't match these bits of water' provide a fascinating insight into the working methods of the artist.
