The last state of the famed Braun & Hogenberg map of London, originally published in 1572, but showing London before the destruction of the spire of the Norman St Paul's Cathedral in 1561 (during the reign of Mary I).

The original issue is the earliest printed map of London to survive.

WHollar delin et sculp 1665
Etching, sheet 95 x 130mm (3¾ x 5").
View of London from Islington made shortly before the Great Fire of London, with the old St Paul's cathedral in the distance and three men practicing archery in the foreground. Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England. Hollar's technical skill has ensured that his prints have always been keenly collected, and comprehensive collections of his work are at institutions in London, Berlin and Prague. Hollar's life was changed when he met Thomas Howard, second earl of Arundel, at Cologne in 1636: for eight months he travelled in Arundel's retinue at travelled with him to London, taking lodgings at Arundel House and marrying a servant of the countess of Arundel. This is one of a group of small views from north London sometimes thought to have been issued as a set.

Tinted lithograph. Printed area 390 x 495mm, 15½ x 19½". Framed. Unexamined out of frame.
A balloon-view of London taken from above Vauxhall, with a 32-point key. The Houses of Parliament and Lambeth Palace are lower left, St George's Circus and Bethlehem Hospital (now the Imperial War Museum) lower right. Other landmarks in the key are Buckingham Palace, Regents Park, St Paul's, Monument and London Bridge. We have assigned the date of 1865 because of the Hungerford Railway Bridge of John Hawkshaw which opened in 1864 and a cursory depiction of Joseph Bazalgette's Victoria Embankent, started 1865 and not finished until 1870. Little is known about the artist, Charles François de Riffardeau, Duc de Rivière (1848-1920). He produced a volume 'Vues de Londres dessinées d'après nature et lithographiées' in 1862 (not including this prospect). His father (with the same name) was French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, during which time he helped purchase the Venus de Milo for the Louvre.

The very Wise Aldermen of Gotham, Scratching for a Mayor.
[Anon., 1774.]
Etching, sheet 175 x 110mm. 7 x 4¼". Trimmed to plate; stain spot upper right.
A satire on London politics; a throng of figures in furred gowns, most of whom have animals' heads, surround a table, on which are open polling books, with triple columns of names. Alderman Frederick Bull, with a bull's head, writes with a pen in his cloven hoof at the centre. On his right hand is John Wilkes (1725 - 1797). Behind stands a man with a goat's beard and horns probably intended for Alderman Sir Watkin Lewes. Thomas Harley (1730 - 1804) as an ape wearing spurred boots enters from the right. At the election for the mayoralty in October 1774 Wilkes was head of the poll, next being Bull, the actual mayor. These two were therefore returned to the Court of Aldermen; eleven of them voted for Wilkes to be Lord Mayor, while only two, Townsend and Oliver, voted for Bull. Probably from a magazine.

Published by Josiah Allen, Birmingham, & by Mess.rs Ackermann, Tilt & Fullers, London.
Fine & scarce steel engraving. Sheet 210 x 295mm (8¼ x 11½"). Trimmed within plate, affecting publication line.
A three-wheeled steam coach carrying passengers down a country road. There is no sign of a flue. Dr. William Church (c.1778-1863), an American inventor, patented two steam carriages, the first in 1832, which wasn't built, and a second in 1835, after which he founded the London and Birmingham Steam Carriage Company. Whether the London to Birmingham run was ever completed is uncertain, but soon Church turned his attention to designing locomotives.

Coloured lithograph, printed area 205 x 355mm. 10¾ x 14".
Final sheet from a long view of the north bank of the Thames, showing London Bridge (with the driving piles for the new bridge of 1823-31 adjacent) and the Monument. Other sites listed in key below are Old Swan Stairs, Fishmongers Hall and Wren's church of St Magnus the Martyr. Colonel (later General Sir Frederick) Trench originated the idea of the Thames Embankment, for which a bill was (unsuccessfully) presented to Parliament in 1825. Revived, work on the Embankment started in 1864, although to a different design than is shown here. Drawn by Thomas Mann Baynes, the panorama shows the riverside as it appeared in 1825, from Westminster to London Bridge, with Trench's proposed embankment running from Whitehall to Blackfriars Bridge, with the skyline of London shown correctly above; this would have been one of nine lithographic sheets.

Publishd by H. Bryer No.28. Cornhill London [n.d., this impression c.1780].
Scarce etching on laid paper, image 195 x 335mm. 7¾ x 13¼". Trimmed unevenly to platemark. Vertical crease through right side.
A fascinating view of London Bridge on the River Thames, partially demolished; barges, ferries and sailing bats on the river in foreground. Because of terrible congestion on the Bridge an Act of Parliament was passed in June 1756, giving permission to demolish the shops and houses for which the bridge was famous, with work carried out 1758-62. as part of the rebuilding the two centre arches were replaced with a single span to improve navigation up river. During the work a temporary wooden span structure caught fire, 11th April, blocking the bridge. Fortunately the wind blew the flames away from the remaining buildings (and the City), so the effects were not as devastating as they could have been. This plate was originally published by William Herbert, as a broadside with a letterpress history of London Bridge.

Hand-coloured etching on india paper, sheet 285 x 335mm (11¼ x 13¼"). Margins trimmed.
Views on the Thames of the demolition of the old London Bridge, making way for John Rennie's new bridge. In 1800 it was decided to replace the old bridge, and a competition was held producing many varied designs. In 1824, Rennie's plans were accepted. The bridge was built 180 feet west of the old Bridge and for a time Londoners could see both the old bridge and the new side-by-side. On June 15, 1825, the Lord Mayor of London, John Garratt, laid the first stone, in the presence of the Duke of York. This London Bridge was built out of granite which was quarried on Dartmoor. It was a structure of 5 arches, overall dimensions were 928 feet long and 49 feet wide. When the new bridge was finished and opened by King William and Queen Adelaide in 1831, traffic switched to the huge new structure and the demolition commenced on the old bridge. Numbered 'Pl 6' upper right. From 'Views Of The Old And New London Bridges' (12 plates) by Edward William Cooke (1811 - 1880). Cooke was a draughtsman, illustrator, wood engraver, etcher and painter of rural and coastal scenes in oil and watercolour; son of engraver George Cooke. He was elected RA in 1864 and produced a number of drawings at Redleaf, the home of William Wells.

[London: F. G. Harding, 1832.]
Hand coloured aquatint, sheet 320 x 410mm. 12½ x 16". Trimmed within plate laid down on board, faded.
View of new London Bridge on left and old London Bridge on right, before its demolition; including figures and building materials on south bank of the River Thames. In 1800 it was decided to replace the old bridge, and a competition was held producing many varied designs. In 1824, John Rennie's plans were accepted. The bridge was built 180 feet west of the old Bridge and for a time Londoners could see both the old bridge and the new side-by-side. On June 15, 1825, the Lord Mayor of London, John Garratt, laid the first stone, in the presence of the Duke of York. This London Bridge was built of granite which was quarried on Dartmoor. It was a structure of 5 arches, overall dimensions were 928 feet long and 49 feet wide. When the new bridge was finished and opened by King William and Queen Adelaide in 1831, traffic switched to the huge new structure and the demolition commenced on the old bridge. After William Knight (1807 - 1845; fl.), architectural draughtsman, who exhibited at RA. and created a number of drawings and prints on the construction of Rennie's new bridge.

A fascinating view of London Bridge on the River Thames, partially demolished; barges, ferries and sailing bats on the river in foreground. Because of terrible congestion on the Bridge an Act of Parliament was passed in June 1756, giving permission to demolish the shops and houses for which the bridge was famous, with work carried out 1758–62. as part of the rebuilding the two centre arches were replaced with a single span to improve navigation up river. During the work a temporary wooden span structure caught fire, 11th April, blocking the bridge. Fortunately the wind blew the flames away from the remaining buildings (and the City), so the effects were not as devastating as they could have been.
