- Scope and Content:
- Watercolor scene of a calm river with spiky green plants growing at banks in foreground and at left. On the left shoreline are bulbous rocks and trees. Lowlands extend to the right, and large mountains rise in the distance. The watercolor is signed, "Near [?] Zanderend," suggesting it was done near the Zander End mountain range/river. On the reverse is a loose graphite sketch of a five-pillared bridge. It is labeled "River Loudes [?] End," but possibly indicates the area of East London, a South African port city.
