[n.d., c.1825.]
Coloured lithograph on chine collé. 130 x 285mm (5 x 11¼"). Margins messy.
A view of the world's first passenger monorail, designed by Henry Robinson Palmer (1795-1844) and opened in 1825. Robinson patented his design in 1821 (unaware of a monorail built near Moscow by Ivan Elmanov in 1820, with wheels on the beam rather than the carriage) and built his first in Deptford Dockyard in 1824, which was the first elevated railway. The Cheshunt monorail was the world's third monorail and the first to carry passengers, with horses pulling carriages along the mile-long track. Robinson also invented corrugated iron, designed and executed the Eastern Dock in London, and was instrumental in the founding of the Institution of Civil Engineeers.

This viaduct was needed to connect Rome and Velletri by rail. Originally it was planned as a monumental stone bridge, but an English company offered a cast iron bridge that they had built for a client but which had been rejected; it was shipped out and erected, allowing the Pope to open the railway in 1866.
