Here attributed to William Kemp, although the signature differs from the "W. Kemp sc." signature recorded by Engen (loc. cit.) and visible e.g. on William Kemp's wood engraving of 'Sketches around Balmoral', Illustrated London news, 23 October 1880, p. 416. The present print is however in a similar style, described by Engen as "engraved as delicate etched line against stark white backgrounds"
