'London is a fine town, a very
famous city. Where the streets are paved with gold. And the maidens
very pretty' George Colman the younger
1761-1836
London, evokes all types of responses, but there is no
doubt that it can captivate and inspire us all. We have pleasure in
presenting some fascinating views and great landmarks of this ever changing
city. It is remarkable how from the top of Parliament Hill the skyline
continues to develop at an alarming rate yet the panorama of the city remains
familiar, ruled by the Thames in its imposing way.
We have invited a selection of artists for their images of
London, and have included the exceptional Thames at Hammersmith by Charles
Cundall RA., plus paintings by Ishbel McWhirter, Michael Bishop, Michael Alford,
Richard Bond, Hugh Cronyn, Mick Dean, Denis Gilbert, Alan Hepburn, Phyl Tyler
and Michael Quirke.
Each artist has represented 'their' London and the show
also includes the masterly lithographs of Andrew Ingamells' great landmarks of
London.
