Description: | Raymond Ray-Jones' etching views the north bank of the River Thames from the south. In the first half of the 20th century, a number of riverside warehouses, including Cockerell's Coal, occupied the area known as Millbank.
Ray-Jones was a pupil of Gerald Moira and Frank Short at London's Royal College of Art. Short was influenced by the American artist James McNeill Whistler, whom he had assisted with his etchings. This influence is noticeable in Ray-Jones' industrial scenes. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Digital image Museum of London | Subjects: | work Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1907-1942 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
