Over het werk
This painted illustration created for publication in an illustrated newspaper or magazine, probably the Penny Illustrated Paper. It shows a dark, night time scene, in tones of dark grey/pale black with shadows and highlights in black ink. A group of men and women gathered are outside a tall building which is illuminated with strings of white lights and decorated with a central banner labelled 'God Save the King'. Below this banner the initials 'E' and 'R' stand on either side of a crown.
The image is not dated or signed, but is likely to date from circa 1901-1910 when King Edward VII (1841-1910) was on the throne. Annotation on the rear of the image and at the base indicates that the building in the background may be the Bank of England. Given by Sir William Ingram in 1914.
