Looking down the river from London Bridge we survey the Pool of London, which extends to Limehouse. Sea going Vessels of the largest size may ascend to the Bridge, but the busiest part of the Port lies below the Tower"[text accompanying photograph].

Bibliography

The volume containing these images by an unidentified photographer bears the imprint "With H. and C. F. Feist's compliments" but no name, date, or place of publication, though the Feists were dealers in port wine, and Plate 30 demonstrates that the photograph must have been taken after 1902, and John R. Mendel offers evidence that it dates before mid-1906 [GPL].
