St. Luke's Hospital.
Rowlandson & Pugin delt. et sculpt. J.C. Stadler aquat.
London Pub, Augt. 1st. 1809, at R. Ackermann’s Repository of Arts 101, Strand.
Hand coloured aquatint, 230 x 275mm. 9 x 10¾".
St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics was founded in London in 1751 for the treatment of incurable lunatics. It was the second public institution in London created to look after mentally ill people, after the Hospital of St. Mary of Bethlem (Bedlam, founded in 1246). The hospital was originally housed in a converted foundry in Windmill Street, Upper Moorfields, close to Bedlam. It moved to purpose-built premises on Old Street, on the north-west corner of Providence Row, in 1786. Behind the main building were two gardens for the exercise of the less disturbed inmates, one for men and another for women. The patients were transferred to other institutions in 1916, and the buildings were acquired by the Bank of England to become the St Luke's Printing Works, used for printing bank notes until the early 1950s. Plate to Volume III of Rudolph Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London', 3 vols., 1808-10. Numbered 'Plate 77.' upper right.
Abbey, Scenery: 212, 77.

Hand coloured aquatint, 235 x 270mm. 9¼ x 10½".
A horse is inspected by prospective buyers as it goes under the hammer at Tattersalls, to this day the main auctioneer of race horses in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1766 by Richard Tattersall (1724 - 1795), who had been stud groom to the second Duke of Kingston. The first premises occupied were near Hyde Park Corner, in what was then the outskirts of London. Two "Subscription rooms" were reserved for members of the Jockey Club, and they became the rendezvous for sporting and betting men. Among the famous dispersal sales conducted by "Old Tatt" were those of the Duke of Kingston's stud in 1774 and of the stud of the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV) in 1786. Plate to Volume III of Rudolph Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London', 3 vols., 1808-10. Numbered 'Plate 83.' upper right.
