Fredc. Albert Winsor, Originator of Public Gas lighting. Founder of the first established Gas Light Companies in England and in France._Died at Paris 11th May 1830 Ages 68.
[n.d., c.1840.]
Lithograph, sheet size 250 x 215mm. Sheet trimmed close to image. Foxed.
Frederick Albert Winsor (Inventor. 1763-1830). On trips to France and England, Winsor searched for inventions in need of financing and development and, on one occasion, found gas lighting. After trying without success to buy the technology for Philippe Lebon's thermolamp, Winsor built his own gaslight and demonstrated it at London's Lyceum Theatre in 1804. Winsor's chemist did much of the initial work, which was done in competition with William Murdock and his employers, Matthew Boulton and James Watt. Winsor realized it would be more efficient and profitable to make gas in large amounts, distribute it through underground pipes to several places, and sell the leftover solid 'coke' as a low-quality fuel. Such an undertaking would require more money than any single person could provide, so Winsor mounted an advertising campaign that challenged anyone to join him in this bold venture. Although many people made fun of his approach, Winsor won the support of an influential committee in the English government, and in 1807 Winsor and his partners illuminated a garden wall for the king's birthday. They went on to stage the first gas streetlighting display in London. Parliament finally granted Winsor a charter for the first gas company, National Heat and Light, which was founded in 1812. Ironically, Winsor was ousted from the company's management later that year, and its name was changed to the Gas Light and Coke Company, better known today as British Gas.

Attempting to return to the baby, Perdita, whom he has just abandoned on the coast of land-locked Bohemia, Antigonus is chased away by a wild animal. This action creates Shakespeare's most famous stage direction: ''Exit Antigonus, pursued by a bear''. John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt.

An engraving of the plan and elevation submitted to the town corporation in 1757 for a replacement bridge, which cost £2200. A floating bridge was used during construction. According to 'The History of Wisbech and the Fens' (Neil Walker, 1849), the bridge was never popular, due to it being too narrow for two carts to pass, a steep ascent and a tight corner on the south side.
