This is an early etching dated 1913 by Knighton-Hammond of Pont Neuf, Paris. There are cargo boats in the River Seine being loaded or unloading from a horse and cart on the river bank. The artist cleverly gives depth to the composition with foreshortening of the boats and the view through the arch of the bridge. The figures on the bridge give a sense of scale and movement.
