With the negative for this scene most likely dating to the late 1920s into the 1930s, we know this display print is ca. 1932 or later because of the inclusion of his F.R.P.S (Fellow, Royal Photographic Society) honorarium on the mount. (not shown)

The print is a bromoil or gelatin silver variant process print he called a Lithobrome, with this particular example done using a fine masking screen on the entire image and separate border mask in the darkroom to enhance the overall effect.
