Beak Street

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1905

A vista down a street in Soho with a Gothic spire near the middle of the plate. A large clock projects from a building on the left (part of the premises of Messrs. Liberty, at 154, Regent Street) ; just below the level of the clock a workman stands on a ladder which is held steady by a comrade at the foot. The subject is arched at the top, but before the scaffold and pulley at the top and the church and spire were inserted.
