Two thirds of a view from the terrace of the Adelphi. The left sheet looks downstream to Waterloo Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral, with the Monument and the Tower of London in the distance. The middle sheet looks across the Thames to the factories and warehouses of the South Bank, including 'Fowler's Iron Works' and 'College Wharf Saw Mills'.
