[George Dance's plan for London Bridge and Port of London] View of London, with the Improvements of its Port.
Painted & Engraved by William Daniell. _ The Picture in the possession of George Dance Esq.r.
Published as the Act directs for William Daniell, N.º 9. Cleveland Street, Fitzroy Square, August 15.th 1802.
Fine aquatint, printed in blue and brown and finished by hand. Sheet 470 x 810mm (18½ x 32"). Some restoration.
William Daniell's visualisation of George Dance jnr's grandiose scheme to redevelop the Port of London in the early 19th century. It includes: replacing London Bridge with a double bridge with drawbridges to allow ships upstream without impeding land traffic; uniform warehouses along a Thames straightened between the bridge and the Tower of London; and 'amphitheatrical' areas around the Monument and the proposed 'Naval Trophy' obelisk south of the river on the approaches to the bridge. The estimated cost of £1,250,000 proved to be too much for the House of Commons committee and, despite promotional material such as this print, the scheme never got off the drawing board.

The bridge is Old London Bridge, showing it after the 1762 renovation by George Dance the Elder, following the removal of all the buildings the previous year. He built a central Great Arch to help water flow, although the famed rapids are stil shown here, in this case following upsteam. Also shown are the alcoves built to shelter pedestrians and the balustrade. William Daniell RA (1769-1837) was one of the few artists of the period who was as skilled as an aquatinter as he was a painter. The margins have been given a grey wash in imitation of watercolour presentation of the period.
