Somerset House

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1905

Waterloo Bridge, of which three spans are seen, crosses the plate in the middle distance, and Somerset House lies, apparently, on the right bank of the Thames. We are looking to the East ; the subject has been drawn directly on the plate, and so appears reversed in the impressions The work is approximately finished, but the parapet of the bridge is white except for a short space above the last span on the right. In states B and C there were two rowing boats to the right of the barge and a little above it ; the upper boat has now been burnished out. There is a short mast on the barge.
