The Royal Military Academy (RMA) at Woolwich, in south-east London, was a British Army military academy for the training of commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. It later also trained officers of the Royal Corps of Signals and other technical corps. The RMA was founded in 1741. It was intended to provide an education and produce "good officers of Artillery and perfect Engineers". An attractive pair of views after George Fennel Robson (1788 - 1833).

Steel engraving, sheet 245 x 450mm. 9¾ x 17¾". Trimmed within plate; creasing.
'The design by Sir William Tite (1798-1873) for the third Royal Exchange, as if viewed from the west end of Cornhill. Since the building was not completed for another three years, it must have been based on the architect's perspective' (Hyde). The Royal Exchange as built (and still standing) differs in several ways from this design, although these were decorative- the structure of the building was fundamentally the same. Engraved for the Stationers' Almanack, published by the Stationers' Company since 1747, a single-sheet which consisted of calendar text set out beneath an engraved headpiece that recorded significant events of the preceeding year. At the end of the year, when the almanack was taken down, the engraved headpieces (such as this) would be separated from the text and kept.
