The
view of the cascade on card No. 374 is known in three states. The first is from
the original negative, the water of the cascade is shown with a few white waves
as it tumbles down, and in the bottom right is a swan boat full of trippers,
this is listed as ‘view with little water in cascade and with swan boat’. Type
2 shows the water of the cascade as a white mass, with a touch of green in the
coloured cards. The swan boat is still in position, this is listed as ‘view
with white water in cascade and with swan boat’. On the sepia cards there are
different cloud patterns. In type 3 the water of the cascade is the same as in
the first type with only small traces of white foam, but the swan boat has been
removed and the space shaded in to represent water. As far as is known type 3
was only used on Japan-British Exhibition cards, this is listed in that section
as ‘view with little water in cascade, and without swan boat’.

There
are three different views published under the title ‘Cascade, Franco-British

The
view of the cascade on card No. 304 is known in two states. The difference is
in the water of the cascade. The first type is from the original negative, the
water of the cascade is shown with a few white waves as it tumbles down, this
is listed as ‘view with little water in cascade’. The second type shows the
water of the cascade as a white mass, with a touch of green, this is listed as,
‘view with white water in cascade’.
Valentine’s
carried out this touching up of the water of the cascade on most of their cards
that featuring it, they also went to some lengths to remove a boat or boats
that appeared in the scene, carefully painting in the space with ripples to
match the surrounding water.

The
view of the cascade on card No. 389 is known in four states. The first is from
the original negative, the water of the cascade is shown with a few white
waves, in the water is a swan boat and two normal boats, it was used for the
Franco-British Exhibition cards only, this is listed as ‘view with little water
in cascade and three boats’. The second type shows the water of the cascade
with a lot of white foam, and was used for the Franco-British and Imperial
International Exhibition cards, there are still three boats to be seen, this is
listed as ‘view with white water in cascade and three boats’. In the third type
the water of the cascade is the same as in the first type with only small
traces of white foam, but the swan boat has been removed from the view, and the
space shaded in to represent water. The other two boats are still present, this
is listed as ‘view with little water in cascade, two boats only without swan
boat’. In the last type more white foam has been added to the water of the
cascade, but not as much as in the second type, and the swan boat is still
missing, this is listed as ‘view with half flow of water in cascade, two boats
only without swan boat’. The last two types were only used for the
Japan-British Exhibition cards.
