| Description |
English: Rat Island, Portsmouth, 1812 No. 25 of 73 (PAI0889 - PAI0961) Drawing inscribed in the upper right 'Rat Island – Portsmouth -1812.' Burrough Island or Rat Island in Portsmouth Harbour is joined to Priddy's Hard by a causeway. The name Rat Island possibly derives from the fact that rats leaving decaying hulks moored in the harbour would go ashore on the nearest land. Although this drawing is not finished, it demonstrates Schetky’s ability to create atmospheric effects using washes. |
