Description: | Girdleness Lighthouse. Etching, showing figures standing on cliff tops, the viewer looks over their shoulder to see the lighthouse and two boats. Identical to ABDUA:30278. This print is glazed. Label on reverse: 'Gordon of Cairness Bequest. Both prints to go to King's College, Old Aberdeen as part of P.W. Bequest on the death of M.V. Gordon.
"In contrast to 31370 tradition and continuity are emphasised. Fisherfolk are depicted on rocks in the foreground. At sea sailing ships are in middle-distance and a combination sailing/steamship is in the distance."
