Plan, Section and Elevations of Fleet Market.
G. Dance delin. W.H. Toms sculp.
Published April the 25th 1737 by George Dance pursuant to a late Act of Parliament.
Rare engraved architect's plan, watermarked laid paper, sheet 400 x 620mm. 15¾ x 24½". Centrefold as normal. Trimmed to plate, new margin added. A little soiled and stained.
Key below title; plan includes a scale. The Fleet Market was constructed above the course of the enclosed Fleet Ditch in the City of London. The architect was George Dance the Elder (1695 - 1768). Work began in 1734 to arch over the River Fleet, as it had become an open sewer; and to remove the considerable expense of clearing the river of rubbish and filth. The course of the river was covered between Holborn Bridge and Fleet Bridge. The market, consisting of two rows of open one-storey shops linked by a covered walkway, opened on 30 September 1737. The market replaced the Old Stocks Market that itself had been cleared for the construction of the Mansion House. By 1829, the market was rundown and considered an obstacle to the increasing volume of traffic; and was cleared for the construction of Farringdon Road. Farringdon Market [New Fleet Market] was constructed to replace it, but was never successful. Guildhall Library Record: 18996.

Riders rounding up some of the New Forest ponies. Lucy Kemp-Welch (1869-1958) exhibited the original painting (approximately 5ft x 10ft) at the Royal Academy in 1897, when she was only 26 years old. It caused a sensation and was promptly sold for £525 to the trustees of the Chantrey Bequest, a fund set up to buy British art to create a national collection. Despite being set up in 1875 this was only the third artwork by a woman bought by them. The painting was then transferred to the Tate Gallery when it opened that year, but was never displayed: it is said her support for the suffragette movement meant her work was blacklisted by the patriarchal establishment.

Fox and Erskine strut along the east pavement of St. James's Street, about to cross the road to the Palace gateway, part of which is on the extreme left. Before them runs a little ragged boy waving his hat and screaming "Clear the way for his M------'s Ministers".

Behind him walks Erskine, wearing a Chancellor's wig reaching to the knee, and a gown festooned over his arm, but still trailing behind him. Fox puffs, Erskine walks mincingly; both hold papers. From the corner house on the west side of St. James's a man wearing a cocked hat, and seated at a table on which is a coffee-pot, looks quizzically from a window. BM Satires 10529.
