The building of a new house (No. 110, New Bond Street) at the corner of Brook Street in the summer of 1904. All the apparatus of scaffolding, cords and pulleys is drawn with great elaboration and many workmen are to be seen standing on ladders or planks at various elevations. Three carts are drawn up close to the building and two others are going down Brook Street to the right. A dark shadow, varying much in the different states, is thrown across the street by the houses on the near side. The work is very unfinished, and both proofs of this state are largely retouched with pen and ink, one of them (R.) so much so as to rank rather as a drawing than as a print. It was exhibited as a drawing at the New English Art Club in November, 1904. In the other (B.) the whole foreground is covered with a dark wash. Two placards are attached to the building.
