This original print, believed to be a coloured linocut, was exhibited and bought from the Reading Guild of Artists Thirty-Sixth Annual Exhibition, Museum and Art Gallery Reading, 7 May – 28 May 1966. The subject, Albert Bridge, is a road bridge over the River Thames connecting Chelsea on the north bank to Battersea on the south bank. 

Agnes Reeve was born in Marylebone, London, in 1896. She was a member of the Reading Guild of Artists 1962 – 1972, when already in her mid sixties. During this time she lived in Chelsea, London, which is reflected in the subject matter of her work. Her London life can be found via various gallery biographies, and is best known for her woodcuts of London scenes from the 1930s. However, what her connection was to the town of Reading and the RGA is not known except that she exhibited regularly throughout those years mainly linocut prints, as well as the occasional watercolour and oil painting. She died in 1984. There is an Agnes Reeve Memorial Award, which was funded by an exhibition held at the Chelsea Town Hall in 1984. The award is presented to the best painting of London by the Chelsea Art Society, of whom she was a member.
