This is an albumen photo mounted onto closely cropped card from a photo album and is 7¾ x 6 inches (198x153mm).
It documents the historic Miller & Tupp steam launch boatyard at Creek Works, Hammersmith, London. This striking image captures a dramatic moment in British climate history, showing the River Thames completely frozen solid. Massive, jagged chunks of pack ice surround and trap several vintage steam launches and workboats against the slipway, bringing all river traffic to a standstill. Features the original hand-painted company signage clearly visible on the building to the left. It is possibly from the harsh Winter of 1881 or 1895.
