Building

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1904

The building of a new house (No. 110, New Bond Street) at the corner of Brook Street in the summer of 1904. All the apparatus of scaffolding, cords and pulleys is drawn with great elaboration and many workmen are to be seen standing on ladders or planks at various elevations. Three carts are drawn up close to the building and two others are going down Brook Street to the right. A dark shadow, varying much in the different states, is thrown across the street by the houses on the near side. The opening entirely closed up, being worked over again with dry point. The shadow now extends for the first time right up to the cart. What was a white strip at the bottom is now largely worked over.
