A fine view which de Capelain describes as "Surrounded by furze and heather-covered hills, intermingled with grey rock and luxuriant foliage, it charms the eye by its quiet beauty; amongst the woody recesses of its deep dell, light, wreathing smoke betrays the fisherman's dwelling, whose boat on the shore or sailing on the blue breezy sea adds life and interest to the scene. In the Drawing the bay is seen shining in the light of the morning sun." One of a series of 26 views published in 1847 to commemorate Queen Victoria's visit to Jersey, lithographed by Day & Son, lithographers to the Queen. Tinted lithograph, hand-coloured. Very good condition. Size: 47.2 x 64.1 cm.
