Abstract (en)
Analyzes the work--the installation of a watermain--depicted in Brown's painting of 1852-63 (Manchester, City Art Gallery), likening this visual metaphor to Carlyle's description of the benefits of labor in terms of a flowing stream; considers the symbolism, narration, and association of word to image in light of Brown's life and character, as well as a specific urban semiotica that developed concerning water supply in mid-19th c. England.
