Lit: Rawlinson I 1908, no.131, second published state
Published in Views of Sussex, part 1, pl.4. Original water-colour: British Museum (Wilton 1979, no.425; E. Shanes, Turner's Rivers, Harbours and Coasts, 1981, no.11, repr. in col.). Rawlinson draws attention to the strongly bitten etching in the foreground of this plate, which gives it force and accent. However, he fails to mention that impressions in the second state were printed on India paper. For a fuller discussion of Views in Sussex, see under T04428-T04438.
