Description: | Mounted on page 8 of Fanshawe's West Indies, North American and Borneo scrapbook (ZBA4855). Lithograph depicting Berkshire Hill, a headland bearing an impressive fort, and Kingstown to the right with shipping, on St Vincent, West Indies. See summary of Fanshawe's known Caribbean movements with ZBA4856: he certainly visited St Vincent, which his biographical memoir describes as 'one of the most beautiful of the West Indian Islands. He and his party went up the Souffri�re [volcano], enjoying the loveliness of the vegetation and the fine mountainous scenes, now (1904) all rendered desolate by the recent terrible volcanic eruptions' (Fanshawe [1904] p.387).
