"Old Hungerford Bridge" is a notable etching by the American-born British artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1861. Whistler, a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement, is renowned for his contributions to both painting and printmaking, and this work exemplifies his skill in the latter medium. The etching captures the now-demolished Hungerford Bridge, which once spanned the River Thames in London. This bridge, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1845, was a suspension bridge that connected Hungerford Market on the north bank with Lambeth on the south bank. It was eventually replaced by the Charing Cross Railway Bridge in 1864.

Whistler's "Old Hungerford Bridge" is part of his "Thames Set," a series of etchings that depict various scenes along the River Thames. These works are celebrated for their intricate detail and atmospheric quality, showcasing Whistler's ability to blend realism with a sense of poetic ambiance. In "Old Hungerford Bridge," Whistler employs a delicate line technique to render the architectural elements of the bridge and the bustling activity along the riverbanks. The composition is marked by a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the depth and texture of the scene.

The etching reflects Whistler's fascination with urban landscapes and his keen observational skills. It also illustrates his innovative approach to printmaking, where he often experimented with different techniques to achieve a desired effect. "Old Hungerford Bridge" not only serves as a historical record of a bygone structure but also as a testament to Whistler's artistic vision and technical prowess. Today, this etching is held in various public and private collections, appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit.
