Item Information
- Title:
- Building
- Description:
-
The building of a new house (No. 110, New Bond Street) at the corner of Brook Street in the summer of 1904. All the apparatus of scaffolding, cords and pulleys is drawn with great elaboration and many workmen are to be seen standing on ladders or planks at various elevations. Three carts are drawn up close to the building and two others are going down Brook Street to the right. A dark shadow, varying much in the different states, is thrown across the street by the houses on the near side. The shadow all filled up again. The upper limit is on the level of the feet of the man and woman, and there is a narrow space of white light between it and the cart. The depth of shadow in the foreground and the amount of ink left on the light strip of margin vary a good deal in different impressions.
