Note the crew in their summer wear. Along this stretch of the river there is a noticeable difference between the two sides of it. On the southern side, the vegetation is distinctively tropical with dense bush and numerous M’gonga, or Ivory nut palm trees. The northern bank could be Richmond on Thames.
