[n.d., c.1890.]
Etching, 205 x 165mm. 8 x 6½".
The fine wrought-iron gate to 4 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. By Theodore Casimir Roussel (1847 - 1926), English painter and etcher of French birth. He was born and educated in France and settled in England in 1878, when he quickly established a reputation. In 1885 he was introduced to James McNeill Whistler, his neighbour in Chelsea, London, and in consequence a lifelong friendship was formed. In 1888 Whistler introduced him to the techniques of etching and drypoint. As Roussel was a member of Whistler’s London circle his work was influenced by the latter in style and choice of subject-matter. Scarce.

Park Chapel Chelsea Built 1718.
Drawn on Stone by Frances Faulkner 1841.
Lithograph. Sheet 485 x 330mm. 19 x 13". Very scarce.
This was built in 1718 as a proprietary chapel in the grounds of what was then Chelsea Park and was under the ownership of Richard Manningham, the son of the Bishop of Chichester. In 1810 Park Chapel was enlarged to serve the growing urban population, resulting in a building seating 1,200 people. God was much at work here, and the congregation grew to a very healthy size. However a crisis point came in 1855 when the Chapel’s owner, the wealthy banker Sir John Paul Dean, was found guilty of fraud. Sir John was imprisoned and his assets sold off to pay his debtors, including Park Chapel. However, it was bought at auction by the congregation and put into a trust.

Attractive view from the bank of the Thames at Chelsea, London, oval in aquatint masonry frame; with a distant view of All Saints Church, and Battersea Bridge. A carriage travelling down road in foreground, a barge is moored to the right. William Beilby (1740-1819) was a British glassworker known to have produced eminent enamelled glass during the later half of the 18th century. He was brought up in Durham and then later sent as an apprentice to Birmingham until his father's business failed forcing the family to move in 1757 to Newcastle-upon-Tyne to start again. The family then moved again in 1778 to London, then to Scotland. During this period, the family produced no more glass, but Beilby painted more of his exquisite water colours. The engraver, Francis Jukes (1745-1812) was a very early specialist in aquatint, which he learnt from Paul Sandby (1731-1809).

The Chelsea Waterworks Company was formed in 1723 and supplied water to Westminster and adjacent parts. It introduced the first iron main in London in 1746. The company held water in reservoirs in Hyde Park and Green Park and pumped water through an elaborate sysstems of canals which covered a large area of today's Pimlico. As the years marched by the water was becoming more and more contaminated and the Company installed the first Sand filtration operation to purify the water. Eventurally in the late nineteenth century the company became part of the Metropolitan Water Board.
