View of the River Thames and St Paul's Cathedral from a Bridge, London, England, WWI Era

A hazy view across the River Thames toward St Paul's Cathedral and the City of London, photographed during the First World War era. Clusters of Thames lighters crowd the foreground, reflecting the river's role as a vital commercial artery even amid wartime conditions.
