Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1903

A sketch of building operations in connection with the Holborn to Strand improvement. On the right a row of carts is drawn up at the foot of a high, blank wall. The sky in the left corner consists of very fine lines, close together and almost perpendicular, extending I in. or 25 mm. from the left edge. The smoke on the left is light. Just to the right of the high-pitched roof in the middle of the plate some tall projecting spars shown in the trial proofs have been burnished out and replaced by low chimney-pots nearly of equal height.
