Description: | Unframed s. in plate with butterfly; c.r. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. The view of the Thames was made by Whistler in 1887 and may well have been drawn from a window in the Savoy Hotel, looking out to the river across the embankment at the bridge in the distance. The dome of St Paul's Cathedral is just visible on the horizon.
