Depicting the picturesque south-west Cornwall coast, Short’s etching shows low tide; looking toward the head of the harbor, which ends in a dark bridge, with a group of cottages to the left, and a quay to right, with a hill behind. In the left foreground, a fishing boat, ‘Rival Fowey’, rests in the mud.
