| Reverse description | A full-color reproduction of Joseph Mallord William Turner's celebrated painting 'Snow Storm — Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth' (1842) occupies the central field, set within an ornate decorative rectangular frame with foliate and geometric border elements. The painting depicts a paddle steamer engulfed in a swirling vortex of snow, storm, and sea, rendered in Turner's characteristic atmospheric Romantic style. The composition conveys violent natural forces through turbulent brushwork and dramatic tonal contrasts of grey, white, and ochre. |
