Norfolk (1879)

A whole plate negative. A port very near broadside view, taken from only just ahead of the beam, of the passenger/cargo liner Norfolk (1879) at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She has painted ports and is barque rigged with double topsails and single topgallants. She is flying the blue peter. Tilbury is in the background. Negatives numbers G1526 and G1788 were taken on the same occasion. This negative has been broken and discarded but a 12x10 photographic print produced in the 1950s is available for scanning.
