View of Folkstone Harbour, with a rocky shoreline and a boat bulled onto the sand in the foreground, and weathered-looking buildings nearby. A man holding a child's hand is talking to a woman in front of the boat, whose masts are laid down and whose sail is laid out to dry; nearer the houses, groups of men and women gather on the shore. At far left is another vessel, similar to the first, with a line of washing strung out in front of it. The sea is towards the left of the image. In the far background, a cliff rises up over the town; it is surmounted by a tower, perhaps from a castle or old fortification. Title and production information printed in lower margin, along with the subtitle, "Low water".
