This may be a re-issued state of this print with the name of the publisher changed to Tregear. Comparison to similar prints by Henry Alken (after sketches by Captian Fraser,) published by Robert Havell, London in 1838, (see Paul Hachey, The New Brunswick Landscape Print 1760 - 1880, cat. no. 63 and 64,) clearly demonstrates that Alken was responsible for the composition and the etching. See P120 for the later state of the print with the publisher's name changed to Laird and the plate number removed.
