Westminster Bridge, Deptford, and Greenwich Rail-way,
in which a most troublesome and complicated perspective is
handled with considerable tact and ability. An admirable
idea of the distances of the line of road is given by the
proportion of different steam-coaches which are travelling
along it. The sketch is supposed to be taken from the
summit of the Duke of York's column in Carlton-place,
and is appropriately dedicated to the Directors of the
Company.
