PRINT DESCRIPTION : THIS ancient rival of Margate began to emerge from its original obscurity about one hundred and fifty years ago. It was, however, heavily handicapped in its race for lodgers with Margate, in days before the railway abolished space, by its distance from London—a very important disadvantage when the only cheap conveyance was a sailing vessel, and Margate had to be passed on the way *, nor do we think its popularity with "bad sailors" would be likely to be increased by Turner's fine drawing. Down to 1837 Ramsgate was in the parish of St. Lawrence, but it was then constituted a distinct parish by Act of Parliament. The harbour and pier were constructed at the end of the last century by the celebrated engineers Smeaton and Rennie. It is a royal harbour, being the property of and under the management of the Grown. For several years her Majesty, when Princess Victoria, resided here with her mother, the Duchess of Kent; the house in which they lived is Townley House, now a school. Turner's drawing is well designed to show the formation of the harbour and the security it affords. The entrance is two hundred and forty feet wide. Rarnsgate has the advantage of a southern aspect and beautiful views of Pegwell Bay and the Downs; in fine weather the coast of France is visible. AN EXTREMELY RARE LANDSCAPE PRINT !
