Bridge

Bridge was originally thought to date from about 1878. The cursory signature on the drawing suggests a later date. If, as is possible, it is intended to represent old Battersea Bridge, it may date from 1887, or the following years, leading up to its demolition in 1890.

The drawing is catalogued in MacDonald 1995 (cat. rais.) [more] (cat. no. 699). It is known only from a photograph. This entry has been amended, to correct information on the date and site.
