London by Lester Ralph
Superb caricature of London emphasising its expanding population, Central to the picture is St Paul's Cathedral wearing a police officer's helmet over its dome while the surrounding landscape is filled with millions of people and endless queues of traffic. Congestion it seems was just as bad in 1899
