You're bidding on "A North View Of Westminster Bridge" - 19 1/4" X 13 3/4" total size, 15 3/4" X 10 1/4" within the platemarks - published 1794 by Laurie & Whittle, London. Particularly known as map & atlas makers, Laurie & Whittle assumed the business of noted London publisher Robert Sayer after his death in 1794.
This is a circa 1750 view of the original Westminster Bridge around the time of completion, re-published in 1794 as part of a series of London views by the firm. A great view of the whole span of the bridge, with boaters and rowers in the foreground, and the city stretching out along the banks of the Thames in the background. The bridge kicked off massive population growth and inspired the construction of multiple bridges over the next several decades - ultimately it was a victim of its own success, requiring replacement by the current bridge in 1862.
NOTE some issues of condition - mainly foxing/spotting - more visible in the margin area, but present within the image area as well. Also some minor edge bumping/chipping/tears. SOLD AS IS AS FOUND.
Retains decent presentation and appeal, though, and a rare to find 18th century view in any condition. Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
