J. Badeslade Delin. J. Kip Sculp.
[n.d., c.1728.]
Engraving, very rich impression. Sheet 340 x 410mm (13¼ x 16"). Trimmed close to printed border, old ink mss., mounted on album paper at edges.
An elevated view of Howland Great Wet Dock, Rotherhithe, built 1695-9 to refit East India ships. As it was not created for cargo, there are no warehouses around the main quay but an avenue of trees. In the background is London, with St Paul's Cathedral. Soon after this view was published the Greenland whalers started using the dock and blubber boiling houses were built to render oil and the docks were renamed 'Greenland Dock'.

William Daniell's visualisation of George Dance jnr's grandiose scheme to redevelop the Port of London in the early 19th century. It includes: replacing London Bridge with a double bridge with drawbridges to allow ships upstream without impeding land traffic; uniform warehouses along a Thames straightened between the bridge and the Tower of London; and 'amphitheatrical' areas around the Monument and the proposed 'Naval Trophy' obelisk south of the river on the approaches to the bridge. The estimated cost of £1,250,000 proved to be too much for the House of Commons committee and, despite promotional material such as this print, the scheme never got off the drawing board.

William Daniell RA (1769-1837) was one of the few artists of the period who was as skilled as an aquatinter as he was a painter. The margins have been given a grey wash in imitation of watercolour presentation of the period.
