View north from Tate Modern toward St. Paul's Cathedral
The new Millennium Footbridge can be seen to the right, linking the south and north banks of the River Thames. St.Paul's floats serenely in the background, still an impressive sight today, but how much more so when London would have had few buildings more than two or three stories high. The River is unusually blue!
These sculptures, above the portico of the Bank of England, were the work of Sir Charles Wheeler - part of a set depicting 'Creators and Guardians of Wealth' - for Sir Herbert Baker's reconstruction of the Bank edifice between the World Wars.
