Painting Plymouth Emigration Depot, there was a time when the Plymouth Emigrations depot was the best in all Britain.

Today almost nothing remains of what was formally made by the citizens of Plymouth into the best and one of the busiest emigration depots in all the land.

This preparatory painting is as exhibited at the European Parliament, Brussels May 2011.
