Summary

Description
English: A detail from Robert Dodd's painting in oils "Greenwich from the Isle of Dogs", cropped to show a part of the Isle of Dogs of which no other 18th century image exists.

The land, reclaimed marsh - rich grazing for cattle - is below high water mark, and is defended by artificial embankments. If these were not kept in repair, there could be serious flooding.

In this scene a group of people is waiting for the ferry, which ran from the southern tip of the peninsula.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1815, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
