Joseph Constantine Stadler was a prolific German émigré engraver of images after his contemporaries - here, William Westall. Stadler's engravings are wide-ranging in subject matter and include landscapes, seascapes and portraits, as well as military, sporting and decorative subjects. Stadler was employed by the leading print publisher of the time, John Boydell. Stadler lived in Knightsbridge when he died at the age of 73.
William Westall was a British landscape artist. He was born in Hertford and enrolled at the Royal Academy schools in 1799. He later became the draughtsman for a voyage to Australia and the South Seas. After being shipwrecked, he travelled to Canton in China and to India, staying in Bombay for several months. He returned to England in 1805 but later set off for Madeira and Jamaica. He became a member of the Society of Painters in Water Colours (1811) and an associate of the Academy (1812). Following a mental breakdown, he regularly visited the Lake District and published ‘Views of the Valley and Vale of Keswick’ (1820). His series of aquatints of the Thames, the great universities, and England's public schools for Ackermann are among his most popular works.
Rudolph Ackermann was an Anglo-German bookseller, inventor, lithographer, publisher and businessman. In 1795 he established a print-shop and drawing-school at 96 Strand. Here Ackermann set up a lithographic press and began a trade in prints. He later began to manufacture colours and thick carton paper for landscape and miniature painters. Within three years the premises had become too small and he moved to 101 Strand, in his own words "four doors nearer to Somerset House", the seat of the Royal Academy of Arts. Between 1797 and 1800 Ackermann rapidly developed his print and book publishing business, encompassing many different genres including topography, caricature, portraits, transparencies and decorative prints.

Antique engraving of Windsor Bridge on the Thames, Tombleson, c.1832–1834
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique engraving of Windsor Bridge on the Thames, Tombleson, c.1832–1834
This detailed antique engraving depicts the old Windsor Bridge, a three-arched crossing over the River Thames linking Windsor in Berkshire with Eton in Buckinghamshire. The bridge was a vital crossing point in the early 19th century, carrying both pedestrians and traffic across the river. In this composition, the bridge is shown with a horse-drawn cart and several figures making their way across, while activity on the water and along the riverbanks brings additional life to the scene.
In the foreground, a barge with a furled sail moves slowly beneath the bridge, manned by boatmen engaged in their work. To the right, figures in brightly colored dress gather by the riverbank, one leaning on a pole near the water’s edge while others attend to daily activities. The houses and riverside buildings frame the view, adding to the sense of a bustling riverside townscape. The whole scene is animated by the interplay of people, architecture, and the flowing Thames, presenting Windsor as both a place of commerce and community.
The drawing is by William Tombleson (1795–1846), a leading English topographical draughtsman whose series Views of the Thames and Medway (published between 1832 and 1834) was highly admired for its combination of accuracy and artistic style. The engraving was executed by Charles Mottram...
