![[The Chapel of St Thomas on the Bridge] Inside South View of the Under Chappel from East to West,](jpegs/61252.jpg)
[The Chapel of St Thomas on the Bridge] Inside South View of the Under Chappel from East to West, representing the manner and form of this rare piece of Ancient Architecture, thus drawn and transmitted to posterity, by G. V., Antiquary, 1744.
[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.

[George Dance's plan for London Bridge and Port of London] View of London, with the Improvements of its Port.
Painted & Engraved by William Daniell. _ The Picture in the possession of George Dance Esq.r.
Published as the Act directs for William Daniell, N.º 9. Cleveland Street, Fitzroy Square, August 15.th 1802.
Fine aquatint, printed in blue and brown and finished by hand. Sheet 470 x 810mm (18½ x 32"). Some restoration.
William Daniell's visualisation of George Dance jnr's grandiose scheme to redevelop the Port of London in the early 19th century. It includes: replacing London Bridge with a double bridge with drawbridges to allow ships upstream without impeding land traffic; uniform warehouses along a Thames straightened between the bridge and the Tower of London; and 'amphitheatrical' areas around the Monument and the proposed 'Naval Trophy' obelisk south of the river on the approaches to the bridge. The estimated cost of £1,250,000 proved to be too much for the House of Commons committee and, despite promotional material such as this print, the scheme never got off the drawing board. Plate 1 of Daniell's 'Views of London's Docks'.

Views on the Thames of stages in the demolition of the old London Bridge, and the construction of 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. Edward William Cooke (1811 - 1880) 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. Dedicated by the artist in ink on the titlepage: 'From E.W.

Set of 4 engravings on two sheets, platemark 480 x 360mm (19 x 14"). 1st plate very large margins, 2nd plate cut nearly to platemark .
Plans for the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of 1666 by the diarist and writer John Evelyn (1620 - 1706). Attempting to raise morale after the disaster, Charles II encouraged the belief that London could be rebuilt to one plan. Plans simplifying London's complex network of roads were accordingly submitted by Evelyn, Sir Christopher Wren, Robert Hooke, Valentine Knight and Richard Newcourt, among others. However the rebuilding could not be put on hold as while ownership and other problems were worked out. Thus the city's roads remained much as they were before the fire, albeit with measures taken to improve safety.

[London: Peter Thompson, 1852.]
15 etchings, each c. 210 x 330mm & map 230 x 290mm, on Whatman paper watermarked 1847.] Tear in map.
Etchings of a collection of drawings of the fortifications proported to have been drawn by 'Captain John Eyre' in 1643. In fact the drawings were forgeries created by the publisher. Thompson crafted a complete biography and genealogy for Captain John Eyre, making Captain John Eyre the descendent of the real fifteenth century Lord Mayor of London, Simon Eyre, and claiming that fictional Captain John Eyre and the real Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) shared an artistic camaraderie, often sketching together. The drawings, exhibited to the Archaeological Association in 1852, are supposed to be sketches from different perspectives of the fortifications erected around London by Parliamentary forces during the Civil War in 1642-3, with a map titled 'Plan of the Fortifications – 1643. There is also 'The Old Walls Of London' and a three-sheet prospect: 'A View of London from the North showing the Fortifications from Whitechapel to Tothill Fields 1642 & 1643'. As the images were actually made by Peter Thompson in the nineteenth century and not by Captain John Eyre in the seventeenth century, the elaborate ramparts depicted in the set of drawings actually bear no resemblance to the hastily constructed earthwork forts built during the Civil War. Beginning in 1853, the public began to question Eyre's existence and Thompson's collection of works by Eyre and Hollar was called into question.
