SHORT DESCRIPTION: The image shows the city of London from Southwark across the Thames River. On the far right is the Monument to the Great Fire of London in 1666, and next to that is the steeple from St. Magnus the Martyr church. In the distance between the steeple and the monument is the square steeple of St. Michael Cornhill. In the distance to the left of the steeple of St. Magnus the Martyr is the steeple of St. Mary Abchurch. The London Bridge is prominently featured, and just to the left of the bridge is the Fishmonger building. In the distance to the right of St. Paul’s Cathedral is the square steeple with four small points on each corner that belongs to St. Mary Aldermary, and also the steeple of St. Mary-le-Bow. St. Paul dominates the skyline, and on the river on either side of it are the Southwark Bridge (the middle bridge in the image) and farther in the distance is the Blackfriars Bridge. The River Thames is full of various types of ships, including steamships, sailing ships, and lighters. In the foreground on the left there are three people sitting or standing on the edge of a stone structure. NOTES: The London Bridge in this print is the bridge that opened in 1831. A new bridge replaced it in 1967, officially opening in 1973. The Fishmongers’ Company is a livery company that received their first charter in 1272, and still exists today to uphold the standards in the trading of fish and shellfish. They have always had a building on the Thames near London Bridge, but the original building burned in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The current building is the third hall, designed by Henry Roberts and built between 1831 and 1834 because of the relocation of the London Bridge. The building was damaged during the bombings of WWII but was repaired. The monument to the Great Fire of London in September 1666 was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Dr. Robert Hooke. The monument was built between 1671 and 1677, with a viewing platform at the top, over 160 feet in the air. St. Paul’s Cathedral was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built after the Great Fire of London between 1675 and 1710. St. Magnus the Martyr dates to approximately the 11th century St. Michael Cornhill is the site of the earliest Christian worship in London, and dates to before 1055. The church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, except for the tower. It was rebuilt between 1669 and 1672 by Sir Christopher Wren, but the tower was rebuilt between 1718 and 1722. St. Mary Abchurch was first mentioned in 1198, but like so many others was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Sir Christopher Wren also built the new church, between 1681 and 1686. St. Mary Aldermary dates to possibly the 13th century, but was rebuilt in 1510 and again in 1681 after the Great Fire of 1666 severely damaged the structure. St. Mary-le-Bow was the site of worship by 1080, but was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Sir Christopher Wren rebuilt the church, but the structure that Bartlett drew and that appears in this print was also destroyed in 1941 during the bombings of WWII. The church was again rebuilt, and consecrated in 1964. Southwark Bridge was designed by architect John Rennie with three cast iron arches and built between 1813 and 1819. A new bridge replaced this one in 1921. Blackfriars Bridge was initially built between 1760 and 1769. The current bridge was opened by Queen Victoria on November 6, 1869. NOTES: The image is the frontispiece of volume 1 of “The Ports, Harbours, Watering-Places, and Coast Scenery of Great Britain," published by George Virtue in 1842. (TMMP Library DA625 .F49 Rare) The book was first published in 1838 by Charles Tilt with descriptions by William Andrew Chatto. It was then published several times in 1839 and 1842 by George Virtue, and later after 1855 by Virtue & Co. under George’s son, James S. Virtue. The name also changed slightly, but kept the "Ports, Harbours, and Watering Places" part of the title. The books that the Virtues published kept Chatto’s descriptions for the first volume, but they expanded the book to two volumes. William Beattie wrote the text for the new second volume and an appendix added to the end of the volume 1. NOTES: From the end of the 1842 edition of Volume 2: “In taking leave of these two Volumes, illustrating the Ports, Harbours, Watering-places, and Coast Scenery of Great Britain, a few words of explanation appear necessary. The work was originally commenced by Messrs. Finden [William and Edward], and for some time carried on with all the taste and spirit characteristic of these distinguished Artists. But the remuneration accruing from the sale being found inadequate to defray the expenses incurred in its production, it was offered to the present Publisher, who readily saw the improvements of which it was susceptible and became the purchaser. Arrangements were then made for its continuation. Mr. BARTLETT, whose illustrations are so familiarly and favourably known to the Public, set out on a tour of observation along the northern coasts of England and Scotland; and, after visiting every locality indicated, returned with a portfolio of drawings taken on the spot. These were immediately placed in the hands of eminent engravers; a re-issue and continuation of the work were announced; and it is gratifying to state, that the reception which it has since met with from the Public has been most liberal. With regard to the letterpress descriptions, I beg it to be expressly understood that the labours of my pen have been confined to the Second Volume and the Appendix of Vol. 1. The First Volume was written under the signature W.A.C. - prior to my connexion with the work; and, in justice to that author, I feel it at once a duty and a pleasure to conclude the work with this statement. William Beattie, M.D.” January 1842 J. Rickerby, printer, Sherbourn Lane

SHORT DESCRIPTION: The print shows sailing ships on the pool of London, a section of the Thames River. In the distance is the London Bridge, and on the right side is the column for the Monument for the Great Fire of London in 1666. On the river are sailing vessels, barges, a rowboat, and some steam powered boats. NOTES: The pool of London was where tall masted sailing ships had to stop on their inland path to London. Here they could unload their cargo onto the wharves that lined the river. The pool was most active from the 1700s through the 1960s. NOTES: The bridge is the London Bridge that opened in 1831. A new bridge replaced it in 1967, officially opening in 1973. NOTES: The monument to the Great Fire of London in September 1666 was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Dr. Robert Hooke. The monument was built between 1671 and 1677, with a viewing platform at the top, over 160 feet in the air. NOTES: William Lionel Wyllie was born July 5, 1851 in London. He studied art at Heatherley’s, then the Royal Academy Schools. He began winning awards at age 18, and exhibited his artwork at the Fine Art Society and the Royal Academy. He married Marion A. Carew in Switzerland on July 31, 1879, and they went on to have nine children. During WWI Wyllie received permission to sail with the Royal Navy, drawing the various ships and events that he witnessed, which he detailed in his book Seafights of the Great War. His work during the late Victorian period and early 20th century focused on seascapes and landscapes, but also on the various military, commercial, and pleasure ships that he watched on the water. He also worked with White Star Line, Union Castle Line, and Orient Company to draw ship portraits and travel posters. Later in life he was instrumental in the restoration of HMS Victory, using the proceeds from his artwork to help raise awareness and support the work. In 1930 at age 79 he painted a 42’ panorama of the Battle of Trafalgar, which is still on display today at the National Museum of the Royal Navy at Historic Portsmouth Dockyard. Wyllie died April 6, 1931 and was buried with full naval honors.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Color image of the busy port scene of the River Thames in London. There are numerous ships and boats visible, as well as buildings along each shore. NOTES: The buildings on the left include the Tower of London with the four spires of White Tower, the Custom House with the Ionic colonnades, and the steeple from Saint Dunstan in the East Church designed by Christopher Wren between 1695 and 1701 that survived the German bombing during WWII (the majority of the church did not and is now a public park). NOTES: The image is from after page 182 of the appendix of volume 1 of “The Ports, Harbours, Watering-Places, and Coast Scenery of Great Britain," published by George Virtue in 1842. (TMMP Library DA625 .F49 Rare) The book was first published in 1838 by Charles Tilt with descriptions by William Andrew Chatto.

William Beattie, M.D.” January 1842 J. Rickerby, printer, Sherbourn Lane Excerpt from book: “The Port of London commences at London Bridge. The forest of masts which rises in direct view- thickening in perspective till it is lost in the distance- announces the vast extent of that commerce which stretches it arms to the 'Uttermost parts of the globe.' The Pool, as this part of the river is called, extends from London Bridge to Deptford,-a distance of nearly four miles, with an average breadth of from four to five hundred yards. It consists of four divisions, called the Upper, Middle, and Lower Pools, and that occupying the space between Limehouse and Deptford. The Upper Pool extends from London Bridge to Union Hole-a space of about sixteen hundred yards; from this to Wapping New Stairs forms the Middle Pool-about seven hundred yards. The Lower Pool extends from the latter point to Horseferry Pier, Limehouse-about eighteen hundred yards. The fourth Pool occupies the space between Limehouse and Deptford-about two thousand seven hundred yards. The Custom-House, which is a prominent feature in this View, was first erected in 1559-very shortly after the accession of Queen Elizabeth; but, having shared the fate of the other public buildings in the great fire of London, it was rebuilt, two years after by Charles the Second. By a similar calamity, however, this was also burnt to the ground in 1718, and a third erected, which-strange to say-was also consumed in 1814. The fourth, which is the present magnificent structure, was opened for business in May, 1817. It was erected from the designs of David Laing, Esq.; but, in consequence of certain defects, which threatened destruction to a considerable portion of the building, the Long Room, as it is called, was shored up, the front next to the river taken down, and the present front as shown in the Engraving, was substituted by Mr. Smirke. The whole is erected on an extensive and magnificent scale. The London and St. Katherine’s Docks are seen a little to the right, and afford accommodation to a vast number of shipping. The London Dock covers twenty acres: fourteen tobacco-warehouses cover an acre each; the cellars occupy three acres, and can accommodate twenty two thousand pipes of wine. The St. Katherine’s Dock covers the extensive area of ground which a few years ago was occupied by the parish of St. Katherine; the whole of which, comprising above twelve hundred houses, was bought and pulled down, at an outlay of two millions sterling, for the construction of these magnificent basins and warehouses, with which nothing that mercantile enterprise has hitherto effected can bear a comparison… In front of these docks is a spacious steam-packet wharf; and from this point to Rotherhithe the river-here called the Middle Pool-is generally so crowded with shipping at anchor or rapidly passing up and down, that is requires both skill and caution on the part of the helmsman to avoid collision. It is here that strangers can form an exact idea of the vast traffic by which the Thames is continually animated, and to which there is no parallel is the cities of commercial Europe…"
