DescriptionPainting, ‘View of the killas rocks at the Gun Wharf Plymouth Dock', by John MACCULLOCH, [c.1811]. "The general colour of the mass is a faint brown red, and a number of dove-coloured stripes of unequal thickness may be seen traversing it in very irregular curved lines, but bearing a sort of parallelism or relation to each other. To say that it resembles strongly a piece of marble paper, will be a comparison as illustrative as it is familiar." (MacCulloch, 1817)
