DescriptionThe MFA's is state III.
This plate was further reduced and divided after printing to produce THE BOAT HOUSE (THE REDUCED PLATE) (No. 146A) and THE BOAT HOUSE, A FRAGMENT (No. 146B).
"This plate was done at Purfleet (vide [D] 122) [The Inn, Purfleet, Mo. 127 here] a place to which I often resort for an afternoon of fresh semi-sea air. On no occasion that I recollect have I ever been there without seeing the white horse which appears in the etching and which I understand is an old pensioner of Mr. Whitebreads, who lived hard by."
