Description: | Coloured aquatint . This aquatint print was plate IV of a series of 100 plates, titled ‘A Picturesque Tour through the Cities of London and Westminster’, published between 1792 and 1801. The volume is remarkable for all the plates being drawn, engraved and aquatinted by the same artist. Thomas Malton’s ‘Picturesque Tour’ was the first considerable collection of topographical and architectural drawings of London to be aquatinted and also the first British publication to assemble such a large number of aquatint prints. | Subjects: | buttress sedan chair carriage street horse topography 18th century costume woman townscape/cityscape boy chimney man pavement abbey | Temporal: | 1792 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Thomas Malton jnr | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
