[George Vertue.]
[Published and sold by G. Vertue, in Brownlow Street, Drury-Lane, 1747.]
Etching with engraving. Sheet 230 x 460 (9 x 18"). Trimmed from a larger sheet, to printed borders on three sides, into image at top.
An interior view of the Lower Chapel of St Thomas on the Bridge, a bridge chapel built near the centre of London Bridge, with windows looking out over the river. Founded c.1205, it was in use as a chapel until 1548, during the Reformation, when it converted to a residence and warehouse. The Upper Chapel was removed in 1747 (when this print was produced); the lower chapel survived until the whole bridge was demolished in 1832. This print originally had a view of the Upper Chapel above. Both views were drawn by Vertue, based on a survey by the architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), published in a pamphlet called A Short Historical Account of London Bridge in 1736.

G. Vertue delin et sculps.
Sumptu. Societ. Antiq. Lond. 1753. Published according to Act of Parliament, Nov. 29, 1753.
Engraving. 460 x 330mm, 18 x 13".
Three views of the Savoy Hospital for the Poor, created by Henry VII in his will and opened 1512. The hospital was suppressed by Edward VI in 1553 but refounded by Queen Mary in 1556. The hospital was misused throughout the 16th century, with Master Thomas Thurland's conduct subject to complaints, and the hospital used for lodging by vagabonds and criminals. Soldiers and sailors wounded in conflict were admitted in the 17th century, and after rebuilding in the late 17th century the hospital was formally dissolved in 1702. Plate reissued in the Society of Antiquaries's 'Vetusta Monumenta', with descriptions. The Chapel, illustrated at the bottom, is the only building to survive the demolition of the Hospital in the C19th. One of the final prints engraved by the prolific George Vertue (1684-1756).
