Item Information
- Title:
- Millbank
- Description:
-
The Thames at Millbank at low tide. On the exposed shore at the right, in front of a timbered embankment, is a long row of guard-piles, and near the water's edge lies an unwieldy barge with "Delight 1861" on the stern. There is a man on the barge, near which two youths are standing on the shore. Across the river are seen the towers of Lambeth Palace and a row of warehouses. Out in the stream is a small steamboat, and farther away is a barge under sail.
