Description: | From Blackfriars, C R W Nevinson conveys London as a working city, going about its daily business on road and water. Seen through the smoke and haze, the south bank boroughs of Lambeth and Westminster appear quiet and remote. The spires of Lambeth Palace are just visible in the distance.
Nevinson depicts the River Thames as the central industrial and commercial route through the heart of London. Victoria Embankment and Blackfriars Bridge carry the crowds of Londoners on foot and in trams. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Bridgeman Copyright Service | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1927 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
