  Although artist's signature and date appear genuine, dating is in doubt as one painting in the DG series, DG SV*/Sp Coll/Rae/10 (formerly DG 79), shows a building not completed until 1845. The pictures may have been signed between 1891, when a photographic edition of the unsigned views was first published, and 1900 when Rae died.
