View of the New Bridge over the River Tweed at Kelso, Scotland. Inscribed to John Rennie Esq.r Civil Engineer & F.R. A.S.S. &c. &c. by his obliged and obedient servant, William Daniell.
Painted, Engraved & Published by W.m Daniell No 9 Cleveland Street, Fitzroy Square, London, July 25 1804.
Fine coloured aquatint. Sheet 460 x 665mm (18 x 26½"). Trimmed within plate on three sides, laid on archival paper.
In 1797 the old bridge over the Tweed was washed away by floods, and the Scottish engineer John Rennie (1761-1821) was called in to build this bridge. He used the new technique of combining cast iron with stone to create wide arches previously unheard of in bridge construction. The Kelso Bridge was so impressive that he won contracts to build three major London bridges, Waterloo (a larger version of this bridge), Southwark & London Bridge (completed from his design after his death). In 1854 the Kelso population had to be read the Riot Act when they protested against the bridge tolls, fifty years after completion, and long after the construction had been paid for. Three years later the tolls were abolished. This plate attests to the skill of Daniell as an aquatinter: whereas most aquatints have lines added by engraving or etching, this image is pure aquatint, even the boatman's pole and the black border.

Painted & Engraved By J. Linnell.
Lonson, Published, January 1.st 1834 for John Linnell, Porchester Terrace, Bayswater by Dominic Colnaghi & C.o Pall Mall East.
Very fine mezzotint, plate 455 x 345mm (18 x 13½"), with large margins.
Three quarter length portrait of Thomas Robert Malthus (1766 – 1834) seated on a chair with a book in his lap, dressed in an academic gown over his dark tailcoat. Malthus was an English cleric, scholar and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. In other words, humans had a tendency to utilize abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view that has become known as the "Malthusian trap."
