North end of London Bridge and St Magnus the Martyr, London 1762. Riverside scene with barrels and sacks at Fresh Wharf on the Thames. A man seated on a sack is possibly taking an inventory of the items. The image conveys an idea of the essentially mediaeval huddle of buildings in the City. Wren's church of St Magnus the Martyr is on the right, with the dome of St Paul's, also designed by Wren, in the distance.
