St Paul's and Blackfriars Bridge RMG PW0785, William Lionel Wyllie

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.
