Title
Victoria Embankment from Hungerford Bridge
Description
View of Victoria Embankment, looking north from Hungerford Bridge towards the old Waterloo Bridge. Taken from above the Embankment roadway, which has no continuous central reservation, it shows no motorised traffic at all but a wide range of hansom cabs and horse drawn vehicles. One has an advert for the 'Echo' on the back of it. The left hand side has a long line of cabs and carriages parked. The distinctive and recently completed Cecil Hotel dominates on the left, the largest hotel in Europe when completed. Shell Mex House was built on the site. Beyond is the Savoy Hotel with its brash rooftop advertising. Somerset House dominates the distance and and the top of Cleopatra's Needle can be seen faintly above the trees. The print seems to have had the lights in the centre of the road crudely added by hand.
