An early Trades Union item. The Grand National Consolidated Trades Union was founded in 1834 as the first domestic association. It was short lived due to the panic of 1837 with ordinary citizens exercising too much control over credit and economic opportunity, leaving banks in trouble. This collapse of financial support and businesses left a lot of people unemployed.

Union Chain-Bridge across the river Tweed near Berwick. Designed and Executed by Capt.n S. Brown, R.N. Completed 1820. Length 361 feet. Weight 100 Tons.
W. Henderson del.t. T. Sutherland sculp.t.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Rare aquatint, printed in blue and brown. Sheet 245 x 375mm (9¾ x 14¾"). Trimmed within plate, tears taped. Central crease.
A view of the remarkable suspension bridge over the River Tweed between Horncliffe in Northumberland and Fishwick, Berwickshire, with an angler in the foreground. When it opened it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world; it is now the oldest suspension bridge still carrying road traffic. Captain Samuel Brown (1776-1852) championed the Royal Navy's use of chain link cables to replace unreliable hemp ropes in rigging. Leaving the navy he set up a chain-making company which provided the navy with chain until 1916. He also provided chain for Brunel's SS Great Eastern: the famous photograph of Brunel by Robert Howlett includes these chains. In 1817 he took out a patent titled the 'Construction of a Bridge by the Formation and Uniting of its Component Parts'. In 1819 he started building this bridge, with the help of John Rennie on the masonry, finishing in less than a year. In 1823 he built the Chain Pier in Brighton. In 1838 Brown was knighted by Queen Victoria. An unusual example, not finished with hand colour as expected.

[University Tower, Bristol.] 81. [This modern tower (1925) of Bristol University is a striking landmark in the city, and fortunately escaped damage in the heavy air-raids of the last war. The tower is over two hundred feet in height, and contains a 10-ton bell which local patriotism has christened "Great George," in commemoration of the three Georges associated with the University---King George V. who opened the buildings, Sir George Oatley who designed them, and Sir George Wills who, with his brother, defrayed the cost of the tower and other parts of the building as a memorial to their father, who was the first Chancellor of the University. The Wills family are the founders and owners of the great tobacco industry of Bristol (W.D. and H.O. Wills), and for this reason the tower is sometimes irreverently named Smoke Tower.]

[Portrait of William Upcott] A Collector.
Engraved by T. BRagg from a Drawing by W. Behnes, March 1818.
Engraving on india, very fine impression; platemark 285 x 185mm (11¼ x 7¼").
William Upcott (1779-1845), antiquary and autograph collector and son of the artist Ozias Humphry (1742-1810). Along with his early collecting of prints, coins and trade tokens, Upcott inherited his father's artworks and extensive correspondence. It was the latter which led Upcott towards his primary interest of collecting autographs. Upcott also catalogued the library at the Evelyn family home of Wotton in Surrey (in the course of which he acquired, possibly illegally, a number of items which he later refused to return), and compiled a biographical dictionary of British authors and a bibliography of British topgraphical works (a volume of which he holds in this print). In later years Upcott negotiated with various institutions interested in acquiring his collection (from the British Museum to the Library of Congress) but most of his collection remained with him at his Islington residence 'Autograph Cottage'. After his death the collections were dispersed in three sales: the British Museum purchased his collections relating to British topography, while the Evelyn family repossessed items Upcott had taken from the library. Engraved after a drawing by William Behnes (1791x7-1864), who was second only to Francis Chantrey as England's most prolific and successful portrait sculptor at this time.

Fine engraving. 350 x 490mm (13¾ x 19¼"). Centre fold as usual.
An elevated view of Uppark, a 17th-century house and gardens in South Harting in West Sussex. The house, set high on the South Downs, was built for Ford Grey (1605-1701), the first Earl of Tankerville, c.1690, and was sold in 1747 to Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh. It came to the National Trust in 1954. With some imagination, Knyff's view includes shipping in the English Channel.
