View of Waterloo Bridge, From the East end of Somerset House Terrace
T.H. Shepherd Del.t [...] J.C. Stadler Sculp
London Published April 12th 1818 at R. Ackermann's Repository of Arts, 101, Strand
Aquatint, platemark 430 x 530mm (17 x 21"). J. Whatman watermark 1817. Small margins.
A fine panoramic coloured view of London showing Waterloo Bridge, funded by public subscription and built to designs by the company of John Rennie (1761-1821) between 1811 and 1817. The granite bridge had nine arches, each of 120 ft span, and was 2,456 ft long, including approaches. When it opened, the bridge was christened Waterloo Bridge, in honour of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon in 1815. The bridge was replaced by the present Waterloo Bridge in 1945. This view, looking west from Somerset House Terrace, shows ceremonial boats on the Thames and Westminster Abbey prominent in the distance. Compared with other early views of the bridge, however, this print is unusual for the extent to which the bridge itself is allowed to dominate the view- other views often show the bridge from a greater distance or viewed from the middle of the river to include the surrounding buildings. After an early drawing by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd (1793-1864), younger brother of the draughtsman and watercolourist George Sidney Shepherd. Thomas Hosmer went on to become a successful and prolific provider of drawings from publishers of topographical volumes such as 'Metropolitan Improvements' (1827)- this separately-issued print is of greater quality than those later prints.

Waterloo Bridge & St Pauls from Richmond Terrace.
On Stone by M.A.J. Whitby. 1858. Sketched by Adm.l Sartorius.
Rare lithograph, printed on chine collé, with hand colour. 180 x 230mm (7 x 9").
An amateur view of the Waterloo Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and the Shot Tower, by Admiral George Sartorius (1790-1883), who had witnessed the surrender of Napoleon Bonaparte aboard the Bellerophon at Rochefort. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).

Plan and Elevation of the Waterloo Bridge over the River Thames.
Engraved by M. Dubourg 1 Buxton Place Lambeth.
1822 London Publish'd by J. Taylor at the Architectural Library, High Holborn.
Large folding aquatint plan, 300 x 675mm. 11¾ x 26½". Perspective view above, with plans and details and vignette view of the toll gate below. Two chips to upper margin, just into plate. Hole in title area.
George Dodd, a civil engineer who worked for John Rennie (1761 - 1821), proposed to build this bridge across the Thames from a point near Somerset House. Dodd left Rennie’s firm, and after the necessary funds had been raised by public subscription, the bridge was built to Rennie’s design between 1811 and 1817. The granite bridge had nine arches, each of 120 ft span, and was 2,456 ft long, including approaches. When it opened, the bridge was christened Waterloo Bridge, in honour of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon in 1815; before its opening it was known as 'Strand Bridge'. The bridge was replaced by the present Waterloo Bridge in 1945.
See Guildhall Library Record: 29748 for plan dated 1816. See BL Maps K.Top.22.40.a. for a plan by Dubourg dated 1811.

[n.d. c.1780.]
Engraving. 140 x 101mm. 5½ x 4".
Sir William Watson (1715-1787) was a British physician, botanist and natural scientist, best remembered for his work on electricty. He did much to introduce Linnaeus' system of classification into Britain and was one of the earliest experimenters on electricity, being to investigate the passage of electricity through a rarefied gas. His experiments in 1747 to determine the velocity of electricity are of particular interest. The general belief at that time was that electricity was faster than sound, but no accurate test had as yet been devised to measure the velocity of a current. Watson eventually decided not to pursue his electrical experiments concentrating instead upon his medical career, but he continued to support others in presenting evidence to the Royal Society and became a champion of Benajmin Franklin.

James Watt Memorial: In 1825 a very large white marble statue was erected in St Paul’s chapel in Westminster Abbey in memory of James Watt, civil engineer. It was made by Sir Francis Chantrey and cost over £6,000. The introduction of this colossal monument into the little chapel meant that the pedestal had to be divided into three pieces and was dragged in over the medieval tomb of Sir Lewis Robessart, destroying the ancient coffin lid. The statue only just went through the door and the floor gave way under its weight and disclosed “rows upon rows of gilded coffins” beneath. Had the area not been planked over the workmen and the statue would have fallen in. The epitaph was by Lord Brougham and read: “Not to perpetuate a name which must endure while the peaceful arts flourish, but to shew that mankind have learned to know those who best deserve their gratitude. The King, His Ministers, and many of the Nobles and Commoners of the Realm raised this monument to JAMES WATT who, directing the force of an original Genius, early exercised in philosophic research, to the improvement of the Steam Engine, enlarged the resources of his Country, increased the power of Man, and rose to an eminent place among the most illustrious followers of science and the real benefactors of the World. Born at Greenock MDCCXXXVI Died at Heathfield in Staffordshire MDCCCXIX.” In 1960 the statue was removed from the Abbey and a bronzed plaster bust was given in its place by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. The bust stands on the window ledge in the north choir aisle and a memorial stone was inserted in the floor of St Paul’s chapel to mark the site of the statue, with the same inscription as above carved on it. The Chantrey statue is now at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
