- Title:
- Old Hungerford Bridge

In the middle distance a suspension bridge, upheld by towers resting on massive piers, spans the Thames from a high trestle at the left. Beneath the bridge are seen the iron columns supporting the Charing Cross railway bridge.

By a post in the right lower corner, "Whistler."
