He laments the fact that some of the buildings he depicts are being pulled down as he writes. George refers to other projects going on at this time (such as the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London) to record the rapidly disappearing old London scene.The print is on high quality laid paper and is signed, dated and titled in the print.
