Rotherhithe
Rotherhithe
A framed and mounted dry point etching by the American artist James Whistler, showing Rotherhithe on the London River from his Thames Set. Etched 1860 it was printed and issued in 1871 under the title ‘Wapping’ as one of the ‘Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames, and Other Subjects,’ by Ellis and Green of Covent Garden, in editions of one hundred. This original etching is signed and dated by the artist on the plate. The Thames is shown looking down-river through a grid of ships’ rigging, from the balcony of the Angel Public House at Rotherhithe. This famous scene still exists although much altered by the decline of the London Docks, while the public house from which it was captured remains largely un-altered with its balcony still affording splendid views along the river. -

The Burning of the Vauxhall Railway Station, seen from Battersea-Bridge, 1856. ‘…a sudden alarm of fire arose, and the same instant it was discovered that a small ante-room adjoining the booking-office, and occupied by the clerk in charge, was in flames. In a very few moments the fire had extended to the booking office itself; and so remarkably rapid was its progress that the officials present, so far from being able to stay its ravages, were compelled to make a hasty retreat…the fire travelled with the rapidity ot electricity, seizing upon the whole of the offices, then extending to the ticket depots, and finally seizing upon the roof of the station; and burning both upwards and downwards, it assumed such a formidable aspect as to convince everyone that the entire station was doomed to be wholly destroyed…[fortunately] not a single person was injured’. -
