Engraving. 200 x 155mm, 8 x 6". Trimmed, mounted in album paper.
The Company of Mineral and Battery Works was one of two mining monopolies created by Queen Elizabeth I in the 1560s. Various craft guilds were established in London as early as the 12th century, later becoming known as City Livery Companies because they often wore a distinctive livery or uniform. The companies decided who could work or trade in their crafts, controlling prices and wages, working conditions and welfare. In return for exercising rigorous quality control they received monopoly powers. In continental Europe, various revolutions in the 18th and 19th centuries swept away the guilds, but in England they continued, and several new Companies have appeared in recent years.

Because he found difficulty finding artists capable of illustrating his scientific books, he decided it would be easier to learn how to do it himself; he then published this artist's manual.

This plan shows the positioning of the bridge and the associated developments proposed, including: a new "Exchange Street" running straight from the bridge to the Royal Exchange; embankments on either side of the River; and coal depôts on Bankside.

George Dodd, a civil engineer who worked for John Rennie (1761 - 1821), proposed to build this bridge across the Thames from a point near Somerset House. Dodd left Rennie’s firm, and after the necessary funds had been raised by public subscription, the bridge was built to Rennie’s design between 1811 and 1817. The granite bridge had nine arches, each of 120 ft span, and was 2,456 ft long, including approaches. When it opened, the bridge was christened Waterloo Bridge, in honour of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon in 1815; before its opening it was known as 'Strand Bridge'. The bridge was replaced by the present Waterloo Bridge in 1945.

Publish'd {May 1st}[contemporary ink mss] 1745.
Engraving. 350 x 465mm. Creases with stained edges
Charles Labelye, a naturalised Swiss engineer and architect. was appointed in May 1738 to the Westminster Bridge Project. The initial design was for a timber superstructure with stone piers and abutments. This was abandoned after damage to the works caused by the severe winter of 1739-40, during which the Thames froze solid. All 140 wooden piles were destroyed. So Labelye produced a design for a Portland stone bridge with 13 large semicircular arches and two small, and work recommenced. This engraving appears to have been the property of 'Willm. Etheridge, Carpenter', who is regarded as the inventor of the machine drawn here by Labelye. William Etheridge (1709-1776) was one of a very long family line of carpenters called variously Edrich, Edriche, Eteridge, or Etheridge from Stradbroke and Fressingfield in Suffolk. His career as a master carpenter first comes to light in 1738-1749 when he worked under James King in the building of the first bridge to cross the Thames at Westminster, first as King's foreman, then replacing him after King's death in 1744. He was credited as the inventor of a battering ram to assist in the striking of the centres, as well as the underwater saw to cut off piles underwater. From 1747-1750 he worked on the Walton Bridge, and in 1748 produced the design and model for the Queens' bridge, Cambridge.
