Légende

The Frozen Thames: a study at London Bridge, looking east, 1895. 'Signs of the coming thaw have become, during the last few days, as "welcome as the flowers in spring"...The Thames has presented an extraordinary spectacle: the London bridges have been thronged with hungry gulls in hundreds, which rest for a moment on the ice-floes on the surface of the water, and then flash their white pinions in the air, and fly quite close to the crowds who gaze at the hungry birds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
