Kings-Lane has dated this Victorian London Wood Engraving to the 19th Century.
The scene prominently features the newly completed Gothic Revival Middle Temple Library building on the left, alongside period paddle steamers, active rowboats, and traditional sailing barges navigating the river traffic.
The monochrome print boasts the remarkably crisp line work and fine atmospheric sky textures typical of mid-Victorian end-grain woodblock illustration. The print has been mounted into a contemporary cream-textured card window mat board and is completely ready for framing.
