Soon after Julia Margaret Cameron and her husband moved to Upper East Sheen Lodge in East Sheen they were introduced to their new neighbors, the famous English writers Alfred and Emily Tennyson. The couples eventually become intimate friends, together with Sir Henry Taylor and his wife.

The Alfred Tennyson poem inscribed on the reverse of the mount is 'Crossing the Bar' written in 1889. According to additional annotations on the reverse, the poem was inscribed on the morning of Tennyson's death in 1892. The inscription is believed to be in the hand of W. L. Klitz, the original owner of this print.

According to Julian Cox other prints of this image reside in public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Victoria and Albert Museum, National Art Library, London; Art Institute of Chicago; George Eastman House, International Museum of Photography and Film, Rochester, New York; and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
