Fog on the Thames- Lithograph?

Hello everyone I found this piece when I was buying something else off of OfferUp and bought it for $5. It came with the print below it, but they don't look to me like they're from the same artist. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's a lithograph or a charcoal or something else entirely. Is there any way of getting more information without taking it out of the frame? Also does anyone recognize the signature? And I'm reading the date as 1934 what do you think? Thanks for all the help!

 

The date looks like 1934. The name could Boothe.

 

Looks like 1934 to me too.
I love it.

 

It's mounted strangely. It might even be a photograph. There are techniques that give that appearance. I wouldn't toss it without further research.

 

Hmmmm it's a puzzler. There has to be somewhere in Houston I can go to have an expert look at it. I'll have to check that out. I'm not throwing it out for sure. I think it's really cool and different.

 

What's interesting is... the vantage point appears to be center river. Appears to be House of Parliament on right (with one of the towers covered in scaffolding.) So that would make bridge Lambeth but doesn't look quite right.

St. Stephen's Tower (now Elizabeth Tower), the clock tower that holds Big Ben, was covered with scaffolding in 1935.

I think that's the tower in the picture, but don't know what that does for the date.

 

It seems as if they used scaffolding to repair the clock face in 1934. The following article has a picture.

Looks like the artist was on a barge or something like it.
If you are tossing it, you can toss it in my direction. I love rivers through towns, especially with bridges. I have strolled along the Thames in London at many occasions, and loved it. I even spent an entire night walking along the Danube in Budapest (Hungary), just because of the river atmosphere and a perfect conversation, but that is another story.

 

It's Lambeth Bridge. Number of arches and curve is the clue. And you can see the building in front of what's now Millbank Tower. I've entirely forgotten its name.

The artist is downriver of both the bridge and Tower . And the perspective is distinctly skewed.

I think he was in the middle of Westminster Bridge.
