Solway Moss, an unprepossessing bog between the rivers Lyne and Esk on the Scottish border, is made grand by Turner's storm clearing off.
"Turner immediately put into my hands a slight but beautiful drawing of Solway Moss. I anxiously laboured at my plate. It was done, and with the painter's aid, successfully done; and placed me at once among my brother scrapers, an artist."-Thomas Lupton, 1848
"It is throughout eminently Turnerian. No influence of any other master, no reminiscences or traditions of any earlier school, are to be traced in it."-W.G. Rawlinson, 1878
