About This Item
London:: R. Ackermann's Repository,, 1808. Plate number 9 from Ackermann's "Microcosm of London". A lovely aquatint. First edition. Plate is 24cm x 29 cm. Mount size is 32.5cm by 38cm (12¾ by 15 inches). The architectural details were drawn by Pugin, and Rowlandson drew the figures (both are credited on the sheet). The aquatinting was done by J. Bluck. Very nice clean impression of this plate, with good colouring. A very small closed foxing spot to the bottom edge of the plate. Ackermann produced this work between 1807 and 1810. One of the greatest of the colour plate books. "The plates by Rowlandson and Pugin present an unrivaled picture of London in early 19th century, of historic value, as many of the buildings no longer exist." (Tooley) .

Les détails architecturaux ont été dessinés par Pugin, et Rowlandson a dessiné les personnages (les deux sont crédités sur la feuille). L'aquatinte a été réalisée par J. Bluck. Très belle impression propre de cette planche, avec une bonne mise en couleur. Une très petite rousseur fermée sur le bord inférieur de la planche. Ackermann a réalisé cette œuvre entre 1807 et 1810. L'un des plus grands livres de planches en couleurs. "Les planches de Rowlandson et de Pugin présentent une image inégalée de Londres au début du XIXe siècle, d'une valeur historique, car de nombreux bâtiments n'existent plus." (Tooley).
