About the Item
An 18th century view of the first permanent water fountain in London.
London: J.Boydell, 1753.
Engraving with hand coloring in watercolor on white laid paper, laid down to a modern wove paper matrix, 12 x 17 3/4 inches (304 x 450 mm), narrow margins. The paper matrix has yellowed to a moderate degree, however the hand coloring is fresh and extensive. The charming street scene includes a boy playing with a hoop and a dog, and a woman in a sedan chair.
The grounds of Middle Temple are a quiet sanctuary off a busy Fleet Street. Nestled within the surroundings of Fountain Court is the Inn’s fountain, which has stood there since its original construction in 1681. At the time of its construction it was the first permanent water fountain in London, said to shoot jets of water up to thirty feet in the air. Also the site of a former brothel, Fountain Court was the scene of a fabled robbery. The famous highwayman Tom Cox is said to have robbed Madam Box, the brothel keeper of Fountain Court. Madam Box warned Cox that if he robbed her, she would see him hanged, but he took her money anyway. He was in fact hanged for highway robbery in 1690.

The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge
By Alfred Benjamin Cole
Located in Middletown, NY
After Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto
Copper plate engraving with hand coloring on cream laid paper with the Arms of France watermark (a crown in shield topped by a fleur-de-lys and the letters GR), 22 3/4 x 15 3/4 inches (576 x 400 mm), wide to full margins. Multiple vertical and horizontal creases from folding and rolling; none appear to be particularly hard, there is however some associated cockeling. While there is some minor mat tone visible around the perimeter of the sheet, the extensive handcoloring remains extremely fresh and saturated in the intended areas. There are edge tears at each the right and left sheet edge (outside of the image area) due to an improper effort to mount the sheet to a mat. Otherwise in very good condition with all issues being consistent with age.
The print is wrongly titled "The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge...
