[Curatorial description - National Media Museum - December 2011]
 
This photograph is similar to other works by Benington, taken across a London skyline. In 1904 Benington wrote an article for 'The Amateur Photographer' entitled 'The Beauty of Ugliness'. In it he defended the use of, among other everyday objects, lamp posts and back garden fences, to 'assist in conveying an artistic or poetical idea'.
