On page 19 Cunningham lists three exhibited works; describing them as 'pictures'.
These three works are known to be oils.

1797 'Fishermen coming on Shore, at sunset, previous to a Gale'

1798 'Fishermen Becalmed previous to a Storm - Twilight'

1798 'Fishermen Becalmed previous to a Storm - Twilight'

B&J 8Lost, this impression from Calcott's sketch

Butlin & Joll cat. 8; Oil on (probably) Canvas approx 15" x 30"(B&J-20" but 30" based on Callcott's sketch). RA Exhibition 1799 No. 55. LOST but Callcott made a sketch of it and noted its height (see B&J). Cunningham made a mistake in respect of the date because this title appears in the 1799 catalogue not the 1798.
