More about this scene
This picture, on the banks of the River Towy, was obviously taken in the fishing season, where coracles were used for their convenience. These boats were used by the ancient Britons, and are still made in the traditional way: canvas is stretched on a framework of interwoven rods and rendered waterproof with pitch or tar. In the background is a popular promenade called the Bulwark, an embankment extending for about a mile on the south side of the river.
