In the middle distance a suspension bridge, upheld by towers resting on massive piers, spans the Thames from a high trestle at the left. Beneath the bridge are seen the iron columns supporting the Charing Cross railway bridge. Along the trestle runs a passageway to the landing-float at Hungerford Pier, about which river steamboats are clustered. Nearer are a steamboat, barges, and rowboats. By a post in the right lower corner, "Whistler."
