Dessiné et Lithog par Ch. Rivière.
Paris, L. Turgis J.ne Imp.r Editeur, r. des Ecoles, 60_ Maison à New-York. [c.1865.]
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.

Abilltung wie königliche Maistät in Engelandt Die Artickel Dess Spanischen Heyraths Jur: Bekreftiget Anno 1623. Lunden.
[Cologne: Abraham Hogenberg, 1627.]
Coloured engraving. 270 x 320mm (10¾ x 12½"). Evidence of crack in printing plate (as the BM example).
Four scenes relating to the Spanish Match treaty, from Kaspar Ens' ''Fama Austriaca'': James I signing the treaty in the Chapel Royal; James dining with the Spanish ambassador; James in procession; and a prospect of London, with the Norman St Paul's Cathedral. In 1614 a Spanish embassy arrived in London to reach agreement to stop English privateers attacking Spanish shipping in the Americas and prevent England joining the Thirty Years' War. In return Spain would cease supporting opponents of James's rule in Ireland. Spain also proposed the marriage of the Spanish Infanta to Charles, Prince of Wales (later Charles I), promising a dowry of half-a-million pounds. James, who desperately needed money, was enthusiastic, but Parliament refused to accept any deal and James dissolved it in fury. It eventually transpired that the Infanta had no intention of marrying a protestant, and Spain was just stringing out negotiations to stop England entering the war. In 1625 Charles married Henrietta Maria of France instead.

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.

Uncommon etching on india laid paper, proof before all letters. Image 285 x 460mm, 11¼ x 18". Trimmed to plate on two sides.
View from the south bank of the River Thames of a portion of London Bridge, looking at the west side; showing construction in progress of the new bridge, as it appeared in June 1826. St Magnus the Martyr and the Monument can be seen on the north bank beyond. 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. Drawn and etched by 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.

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.

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.

Demolition of the Great, or Chapel-Pier, of Old London Bridge. With the Derrick used in Drawing the Foundation Piles &c March 1832.
Drawn & Etched By Edw.d Will.m Cooke.
London Pubd Oct.r 1832, for the Proprietors by J. Brown 17, Old Broad Street.
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.

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.

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.
