Description: | A rough canal towing path skirts along the left of the picture following the irregular line of the edge of a canal basin. The presence of some canal side buildings is loosely shown in front of which the barge horse stands on the towing path. Across the width of the canal is the dark shape of a narrow boat relieved by a splash of bright vermilion on the bow. A bargee is standing in the center of the boat. The loosely defined outline of a second narrow boat with a bargee is shown on the opposite bank behind which rises the mass of a smouldering pit bank with a bright orange flash of flame, surmounted by two sets of pit head winding gear. The distant horizon, an industrial landscape, is suggested by the profiles of buildings, chimney stacks all diffused by palls of smoke and steam. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Factories Watercolour painting Black Country Fine arts Industrial revolution Landscape Works on paper Industrial areas Industry | Temporal: | 1900 - 1945
