Commissioned by Francis H Crittall JP, of the Crittall Manufacturing Company Ltd, for Christmas 1932.

'A view towards Blackfriars railway and road bridges, with the new Unilever House, built 1930-31, the year before the etching, prominent to the right of the silhouette of the City of London School. The inclusion of Unilever House, which certainly appears to have metal windows, suggests they were supplied by Crittalls.'
