To The R.t Hon.ble The Earl of Essex, This Print of S.t Paul's, from S.t Martins Le Grand; The Site for the New Post Office; Drawn by the late Thomas Girtin, Is with permission respectfully dedicated by his Lordship's obliged humble Serv.t J. Girtin.

A view of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral from a narrow and winding street, filled with shoppers, a large cart and brewer's dray. To the left a man holds onto a pawnbroker's balls to clean a first-floor window. Regarded as a slum (under the title is a short description of the area's history as a liberty, with its ''dreadful privilege of sanctuary allowed to Murderers, Robbers &c &c''.), St. Martin's Le Grand was cleared to make way for Britain's first purpose-built mail office. However it was a decade after this print was published before work started on Sir Robert Smirke's building with its Grecian portico.
See BM 1880,1113.4202 for a state of 1819, with publisher and engraver's addresses changed.

Tattershall Castle [ms.]
T. Girtin [ms]
Etching and aquatint with hand-colouring and large margins, J. Whatman 1816 watermark; platemark 215 x 305mm (8½ x 12"). Proof, before printed text 'Tattershall Castle- Lincolnshire. / From an original drawing in the possession of Wm. Brand Esq. of Boston. Nov 1 1812'.
Plate from John Hassell's 'Aqua Pictura. Illustrated by a series of original specimens from the works of...all the most approved modern water coloured draftsmen...' (1813). This volume was an ambitious project containing fifteen plates, each in four states, to illustrate the development of a watercolour from initial drawing to completed work. This print, finished with hand-colouring, replicates the original watercolour by Thomas Girtin. Girtin had died several years previously, but had drawn Tattershall Castle as the basis for an engraving in a series of views in Lincoln, in 1799. The engraver and publisher John Hassell (1767-1825) was also a drawing master, and like several other of his books, 'Aqua Pictura' was designed for educational purposes.
