Olive Mount.
Drawn & Engraved by I. Shaw.
[British, c.1831.]
Wood engraving, rare; image 155 x 210mm (6 x 8¼"). Crease top left corner.
Engraving by Isaac Shaw showing a view of a steam locomotive pulling carriages through the Olive Mount cutting during the construction of the railway line between Liverpool and Manchester. The Liverpool & Manchester Railway was the world's first inter-city railway and was built under the supervision of chief engineer George Stephenson. Railways were developed mainly for the transportation of goods, mainly coal, but it was quickly realised that trains were also a good way of carrying passengers.

Bridge and Excavation at Olive Mount. Liverpool and Manchester Rail Road.
[n.d. c.1832.]
Lithograph on india, rare. 132 x 160mm (5¼ x 6¼"). Trimmed; creasing on india paper.
Built under the supervision of chief engineer George Stephenson (1781-1848), the Liverpool & Manchester Railway (LMR) was the world's first intercity railway. The Olive Mount Cutting, on the LMR route near Liverpool, was one of the first extensive cuttings on any railway, and is still considered one of the most formidable. It is approximately two miles long, and in some parts nearly 80 feet (25 metres) deep. The sandstone rock was blasted out and used to construct the Roby Embankment and the Sankey Viaduct, also on the LMR.

Richard Oliver (1734?-1784), British politician and statesman. At an early age he was sent to London to work for his uncle, Richard Oliver, a West India merchant. Following this he took up his freedom in the Drapers' Company on 29 June 1770, and was later elected alderman of Billingsgate ward. On March 1771 he became engaged in the famous struggle between the city and the House of Commons and was committed to the Tower by order of the speaker on the 26th of that month. After written pleas to state officials and the City council and application for representation, the end came at the close of the parliamentary session on 8 May when he was released from the Tower. Oliver resigned his gown at the court of aldermen held at Guildhall on 25 November 1778, and shortly afterwards sailed to Antigua in order to look after his West Indian estates. He died on board the Sandwich packet, while returning to England, on 16 April 1784.

[Leipzig, 1725.]
Engraving with very large margins; 305 x 430mm (12 x 17"). Spotting.
The chryselephantine statue of Zeus, sculpted by Phidias for the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was destroyed during the fifth century AD. The descriptive text, in German & French, tells that Erlach based this image on the description of Pausanias, the Greek traveller of the 2nd century AD, who descriptions of classical sites have frequently been authenticated by modern archaeologists. This plate was published in Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach's 'Entwürst Einer Historischen Architectur', a study of the architecture of the ancient world. Fischer von Erlach (1656-1723) was a successful Austrian architect: his baroque works include the Schönbrunn Palace, Karlskirche, and the Austrian National Library in Vienna. He also studied ancient architecture, publishing 'A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture' in 1721, taking on classical influences in his building.
