LONDON BRIDGE.
After an etching by Edwin Edwards.
The artist has chosen for his masterly work the moment when the sun,long before toiling London is awake, rises amid vapors from the easternhorizon. The river reflects the dawn,
"All bright and glittering in the smokeless air."
In the placid stream are mirrored the shadows of the bridge; to the westof which appear the façades of Fishmonger's Hall, and Billingsgatemarket, radiant with morning. To appreciate the full charm and fidelityto nature of this etching one should read Wordsworth's sonnet written onWestminster bridge, beginning "Earth has not anything to show morefair," and ending with the words
"The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still."
