Old Cab at All Saints 1911
Adolphe Valette 1876-1942
Oil on linen and jute
Taken from Oxford Road and looking across All Saints,
this was clearly conceived by Valette as a pendant
to Hansom Cab at All Saints, painted the previous year.
Valette taught at the School of Art
which is just out of the picture on the left.
The domed building was formerly the Registry Office.
On the far right is the silhouette of All Saints church.
This used to be in the middle of the square,
but was bombed in the Second World War.
