St Paul's and Blackfriars Bridge

An atmospheric depiction by Wyllie of St Paul's Cathedral and the Thames near Blackfriars Bridge. On the right a steam tug is towing a lighter upriver. Wyllie was born in London and knew the city, its river and port throughout his life. He painted, drew and etched many aspects of its life over a period of nearly sixty years - from around 1870 until well into the 1920s.
