Coloured lithograph. 205 x 670mm. 10¾ x 26½".
Imagined view along River Thames at Westminster, a site now occupied by the Victoria Embankment. Landmarks annotated along bottom are the residences of the Duchess of Buccleuch, Earl of Cassilis, Lady Exeter, Mrs. Bennet, Earl of Pembroke, Michael Angelo Taylor, the Hon. George Lamb, Lady Grantham, Lord Liverpool, Mr. Dalgleish, and the Almonry Office. Colonel (later General Sir Frederick) Trench originated the idea of the Thames Embankment, for which a bill was (unsuccessfully) presented to Parliament in 1825. Revived, work on the Embankment started in 1864, although to a different design than is shown here. Drawn by Thomas Mann Baynes, the panorama shows the riverside as it appeared in 1825, from Westminster to London Bridge, with Trench's proposed embankment running from Whitehall to Blackfriars Bridge, with the skyline of London shown correctly above; this would have been one of nine lithographic sheets.
