Original Narrative:
CHELSEA: THIS is a kind of subject which has been frequently treated by
etchers since Mr. Haden set the example. It is, indeed, particularly
suitable to etching, as it affords the opportunity for bringing a
considerable variety of structures within the same plate. Here we have
a tower, a bridge, several blocks of houses, a quay, and some barges,
and some houses are seen through the rigging of the nearest barge, and
other more distant houses are visible beyond the picturesque bridge, so
that altogether the subject gets well filled with material of the kind
that an etcher likes, and which he feels to be in harmony with the
especial requirements of his art.
