Abstract composition of objects and object parts combined to create a nautical / marine / seaside scene. Foreground; to the left a dark object resembles a submerged submarine with periscope? fronts a large building? with portholes and an open window, centrally two wooden sheds (resembling beach huts?) are raised off the ground on pillar legs, and to the right a three faced triangular sign? is in front of a wind mill cross attached to the top of a round post. Background; over the furthest left shed a tube kite blows in the wind, and to the right an area of water / sea stops by the centre of the cross and on the horizon line two white chimney shapes resemble ship. Etched in detail with varied marks made by cross hatching, foul-biting?, and grid structure combined into right side of image.
