Framed Waterloo Bridge Prints
Without being as big as the London Bridge or as easy to recognize as Tower Bridge, the Waterloo Bridge is still an important crossing for Londoners. The first structure built in its place was erected more than 200 years ago and opened two years after the British, Prussians and Dutch secured victory at Waterloo. It was a fortunate time to open this bridge and the name was an obvious choice, with the structure gaining a lot of popularity over time and being now celebrated in Framed Waterloo Bridge Art at FramedArt.com.
Framed Waterloo Bridge Art highlights the fact that due to its excellent location, the bridge provides some of the best views of iconic landmarks. Tourists come here to admire the Palace of Westminster, the London Eye as well as the South Bank, or turn around and catch a glance at the Canary Wharf or City of London to the east. Back in the day when the first bridge was erected, none of these buildings were in place, but it still offered some great vantage points.
At the end of the 19th century, the Waterloo Bridge gained a reputation of being a preferred place for suicide attempts. At the same time, it exercised a special fascination on the most talented painters of the time, including Claude Monet who had the famous structure the cornerstone of many of his paintings. The best ones can be admired in the collection of Framed Waterloo Bridge Art, while the modern photographs are all dedicated to the second bridge constructed in the 20th century.
