The note commences with the heading of "The City Gallery" and proceeds to describe the photograph as "A Coastal scene with figures and a fishing boat beached by a cottage. Gils on canvas 19 1/2 x 27 ins (presumably an abbreviation of inches). Curia 1800 - 1810." There is an additional note in black ink which reads "Mill that preceded Quay Mill, Emsworth."
