This postcard depicts Crossing the Sands. Crossing the sands could save a traveller many hours but the trip could be very dangerous without a guide, as is reflected in this dramati c oil painting. David Cox came to oil painting late in his career, when he was already established as one of the leading watercolourists of his day. This artwork was presented by Frederick Nettlefold in accordance with the wishes of his brother, the late Joseph Henry Nettlefold in1882.
