New London Bridge, and Fresh Wharf is a 1838 by Edward William Cooke, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a busy riverbank with a bridge in the distance. Boats are tied up along the dock, and buildings line the water’s edge. The artist used quick, light lines to suggest movement and activity. Notice how the bridge’s tall supports lean slightly—this gives the scene a sense of depth and energy. The drawing feels alive, even though it’s just pencil on paper. Want to see more work like this? Check out Edward Cooke.
