Francis Hopkinson Smith was a true Renaissance man; he was not only an accomplished artist and author, but also a successful civil engineer who helped build the foundation for the Statue of Liberty. His intimate illustrations of London in 1914 captured a romanticized, moody version of the city, deeply influenced by the literary world of Charles Dickens.
