Lot Essay

The watercolour depicts Somerset House on the left with the retaining brick and granite wall that runs for over a mile along the Embankment. In the far distance the Temple pier is just visible, and St Paul's Cathedral rises out of the mist. The roof visible in the lower left is that of the Thames Police Office.
We are grateful to Ralph Hyde for his help with this catalogue entry.
