Photography — 1953-09
Photograph, gelatin silver print
A pedestrian looks down through the railings on Vauxhall Bridge. To the left is a statue entitled 'Agriculture' by sculptor Frederick Pomeroy, one of 8 statues ornamenting the bridge.
Sandra Flett was a semi professional photographer who lived in Chiswick and photographed the river extensively. She could see the Thames from her house and writes ‘We have lived near the river for years and it has become part of the background of our lives’. For her, the river was a ‘geographical backbone’ linking together the disparate parts of London.
