Victoria Tower
1880
This delicate 1880 watercolor captures the towering Victoria Tower of the Palace of Westminster, rising majestically over a bustling London street scene. Tiny horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians scurry at its base, giving a wonderful sense of scale to the massive Gothic Revival structure. Edward Duncan's light, airy brushwork makes the imposing stone tower feel almost ethereal against the pale sky, as if it's floating above the everyday hustle of Victorian London.
