Steamers, yachts and regattas crowd the water in prints from The Clyde River and Firth, a pictorial journey from the upper river past Glasgow to the sea lochs and island passages. Neil Munro wrote the text and Mary Y. Young Hunter and John Young Hunter painted the pictures for Adam and Charles Black's 1907 book. It follows the river from Tinto and Abington through the Broomielaw and Dumbarton to the estuary and the western resorts of Gourock, Helensburgh, Dunoon and Rothesay, with working vessels among the pleasure craft. Rosneath's gardens and avenues add estate landscapes, excursions reach Loch Long, Loch Fyne and the Kyles of Bute, and a sketch map accompanies the journey.
