Additional information accompanying item: The wherries in midstream, the signboard in front, and the oars are removed; the sky and water are also cleared and a balloon rises above the railway bridge. In right upper corner, "Battersea Reach, Seymour Haden" in place of the former inscription. A few early impressions of this state have a monkey instead of a cat on the quay wall; others have two monkeys, others again a monkey and a cat, and, in the latest, the cat is removed. There also are many minor variations in the sky, the water, and the quay wall. One impression in the author's collection has "a Burty" in drypoint on the parapet to the right.
