Title: Etching of the River Itchen at Southampton by Heywood Sumner [Go to resource]
Description: Heywood Sumner is standing on the west bank of the Itchen, in the village of the same name, just above the landing place of the steam ferry. He is looking south west, towards the low hills fringing the New Forest. To the right are Southampton docks, begun in the 1840s on reclaimed land. The Open Dock and the dry docks are nearest to us. Empress Dock had not then been constructed. The three-legged shears were used for heavy lifting.
