Description: | The subject of Charles Potter's drawing is almost invisible. Smoke from the departing train is seen billowing round gasholders near a deserted street, possibly Camley Street or Wharf Road.
Potter studied at London's Central School of Art in Southampton Row under several tutors including W P Robins. Despite this training, he did not regard himself as a 'professional fine art artist'.
However, Potter's work subsequently came to the notice of Campbell Dodgson, who included several of his aquatints in British Council exhibitions overseas. One of his prints of Battersea Power Station was included in the 1939 Oslo exhibition, considered at the time to be the finest collection of British contemporary prints ever assembled. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Mrs Joyce N.
