Picture No | 11677205 |
Date | 1899 |
Description | London by Lester Ralph |
Details |
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.
