A slightly distant starboard side view, taken from well abaft the beam, of the two masted topsail schooner Water Lily (1871) under sail in The Downs. She is on the port tack in a good breeze. The image is slightly out of focus and the horizon is not level. The Kent coast is in the background. A note on the negative says the photographer is using Camera A. Negative number N19642 was taken on the same occasion.
