William Strudwick.

Scarce chine collé etching, signed by the artist in pencil. Sheet 370 x 500mm (14½ x 19¾").
A view of Nash & Miller's boatyard on Bishop's Walk, Lambeth, with Lambeth Palace in the background, adapted from a photograph taken by William Strudwick (1834-1910) before the yard had to move to Battersea to make way for the building of the Albert Embankment (1865-8). Strudwick was a photographic storekeeper at the Victoria and Albert Museum, as well a draftsman, architect, sculptor and comic poet. He took photographs for the 'Society for Photographing relics of Old London' which they published in 1882. The V&A purchased of Strudwick’s series of about 50 photographs titled 'Old London: Views by W. Strudwick' in 1869. In 1910, Lambeth Archives acquired a set of Strudwick’s photographs, the same year they he was admitted as a pauper to Croydon workhouse where he died.
See Historic England BB94/20532 for the original photograph. V&A collection: "William Strudwick"
