PLATE XLII. 95 OLD WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.

Oil picture. 59 by 37 in.

This picture is specially interesting as a pendant to No. 91. It

shows a similar view, but is painted from a point much higher up the

river, and is more modern by eighty or ninety years. Observe the men

fishing with nets, probably for salmon. As we have mentioned, when

describing No. 4, Westminster Bridge was opened in 1750. It was the

second stone bridge built over the Thames at London.

The present bridge dates from 1862.

By S. SCOTT (about 1710-1772).
