Blue and Grey: Unloading probably dates from 1884, before it was exhibited in 'Notes' - 'Harmonies' - 'Nocturnes', Messrs Dowdeswell, London, 1884 (cat. no. 56). 1

Three panels very close in size, Blue and Grey: Unloading [YMSM 296], Black and Emerald: Coal Mine [YMSM 302] and Harmony in Brown and Gold: Old Chelsea Church [YMSM 305], probably date from shortly before they were exhibited in Dowdeswell's.

Notes:

1: YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 296).
