"London Bridge and Southwark Cathedral" is an etching by the prolific British maritime artist William Lionel Wyllie (1851–1931). Wyllie was renowned for his depictions of seascapes and naval scenes, but his work also extended to capturing the bustling life of London's waterways and historic architecture. This particular etching is part of Wyllie's oeuvre that illustrates London's Thames River and its surrounding landmarks.

The artwork portrays a view of London Bridge, one of the most recognizable crossings over the River Thames, with the Southwark Cathedral, an Anglican Cathedral on the south bank of the river, standing prominently in the background. Wyllie's attention to detail and his ability to capture the atmospheric conditions of the London skyline are evident in this piece. The etching likely dates from the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Wyllie was at the height of his artistic career and when London Bridge would have been bustling with activity.

Wyllie's technique involved intricate line work and a keen eye for the interplay of light and shadow, which brought a sense of realism and immediacy to his subjects. "London Bridge and Southwark Cathedral" is no exception, offering a snapshot of London's historic environment as seen through the eyes of a master etcher. The artwork serves not only as a piece of artistic merit but also as a historical record of London's evolving urban landscape.

The etching is representative of Wyllie's broader impact on British art, particularly in the realm of maritime and landscape etchings. His works are held in high esteem and can be found in various art collections, museums, and galleries across the United Kingdom, including the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts. "London Bridge and Southwark Cathedral" contributes to the visual narrative of London's past, as captured by one of the foremost marine artists of his time.
