Rose Barton's Familiar London, includes a watercolour entitled The Fire Brigade painted from approximately the same position as the present work. In her book she writes that the city 'has ever been to me a most enthralling place. Not only on account of its intense attractions from an artistic point of view, but also from what it has always taught me to feel so strongly- how little and feeble each one of us is'.
Barton, born in Ireland, accompanied Mildred Anne Butler (1858-1941) to London to study under Paul Naftel (1817-1891). She was particularly noted for her atmospheric effects and became well known in Dublin and London. She was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water-colour in 1893 and a full member in 1911.
