Alfred H Vickers, River Landscape With Coastal Buildings 1770s 761 achieved for ‘Ansicht vonA charming 19th century river landscape by British artist, Alfred H Vickers (fl. 1853 1907). The eye is immediately drawn to the tall building situated to our right, which is painted with a deft touch and plenty of detail.
