Notes
Robert Gallon (1845-1925) was a painter and lithographer, specialising in landscape and topography. This pair of atmospheric prints of the Thames show the effects of industrialisation in Victorian London, with steamboats on the river and cranes along the bank. The originals were painted in 1889, and exhibited at the Royal Academy, and were presumably enough of a success to warrant their being made into prints.
The prints were restruck in 1980, but the originals are rare.
