Description: | Landscape view of St Machar's Cathedral from the North-West at sunset. River Don bordered by road with carriage and 3 people near a cottage on North bank of River. King's College faintly visible in the mid-right. Steam boat and fishing boat in Aberdeen bay, with Girdle Ness Lighthouse in background. Unlined canvas on simple 4-member stretcher which is not big enough for this size. Interestingly, Roberson and Miller colourman's stamps are on reverse of canvas.
"Image of Old Aberdeen which stresses its age, history and rural setting. In contrast in the distance a steamship can be seen in Aberdeen bay. The image thus becomes one of both progress and nostalgia."
